Deutsche Welle: Drought affects Germany's main river
The ongoing heatwave in Germany is causing the depletion of natural water sources, especially the Weisenstein Spring in the Eiffel region, which has dried up for the second consecutive year due to rising temperatures and reduced water flow. This has led to a drop in the Rhine River's water levels, significantly impacting navigation, as the amount of cargo carried by ships has decreased from around 3,000 tons to 800-900 tons under current conditions. This decline threatens supply chains, and prices are expected to rise by between double and triple the usual amounts, amid increasing water temperatures and the heightened risk of damage to aquatic life, as has happened in previous years. The deterioration of water levels and thermal emissions remains one of the impacts of climate change affecting Germany's economy and inland waterway transportation in particular.
