Could be maybeee Europe's intense summer heat waves have brought rivers across the continent to their lowest levels in years. Major waterways like the Rhine, Danube and Po are warming and at critically low levels, threatening agriculture, commerce, drinking water and natural ecosystems. The European Drought Observatory has reported that nearly 50% of the continent is under a drought warning, with some analysts calling it in the worst in 500 years. As we continue to burn fossil fuels that make the planet hotter, heat waves and drought are expected to become more frequent and intense. Countries will have to adapt and deal with the consequences. What do lower water levels and higher temperatures mean for rivers and lakes? Lower levels aren't just bad news for our well-being — they're also detrimental to the health of rivers and lakes themselves, as well as the wildlife dependent on them. www.dw.com/en/europe-heat-wave-drought-how-can-rivers-recover/a-62868302

Water problems in the northern hemisphere, Europe, China, US and Germany. I heard from one man that talked about this news, he said that boats can no longer travel down the river Rhine.

Just a thought, if it is only the northern hemisphere where rivers are drying up, then I wonder why? I have not taken time to look to see if that is so or not.
