The Danube River is experiencing record low water levels due to an extended drought, affecting navigation, energy production, and ecosystems across Europe. In Serbia, the water level has dropped to its lowest point in 50 years, threatening navigation, electricity production, and river ecosystems. Emergency measures have been implemented in Hungary and Romania, including the shutdown of nuclear power plants due to insufficient cooling water. Hydrologists warn that the situation is expected to worsen in August, with further water level drops and potential water restrictions.
