Danube at Record Low: Crisis on the River | San Francisco News
Description
The Danube River is hitting record-low water levels, exposing ancient shipwrecks, sandbars, and even a WWII bomb—threatening tourism, shipping, and even nuclear power plants. With no rain in sight and heatwaves accelerating the drought, cruise ships can’t dock in Budapest, cargo vessels are stranded, and reactors in Romania and Hungary are forced offline. Over 180 tourists were evacuated from a grounded ship in Bulgaria, while boat operators say their summer is over. While some thrill-seekers are hunting artifacts, the real cost is felt by communities and ecosystems relying on this vital waterway.
