Budapest’s waterworks company, Fővárosi Vízművek, has clarified the meaning of a reading of 0 centimeters on the Danube river gauge in Budapest. Despite the low reading, water does remain in the Danube near Budapest. This does not indicate a complete lack of water, but rather a specific point on the measurement scale. The company explained that water still flows in the river and is reaching wells. The zero reading is a technical measurement, and does not mean the river is dry. This clarification addresses potential concerns regarding water supply despite the unusually low water levels.
