Historic low water levels in major European rivers, including the Rhine and Danube, are causing widespread disruption across the continent. The issues extend beyond navigation, impacting industries like German manufacturing and inland shipping. In Romania, low water levels on the Danube threaten the cooling systems of nuclear power plants. Italian farmers struggle with irrigation as the Po River dries up, affecting agricultural production. The podcast "De Dag" explores these challenges and potential adaptations to increasingly frequent low water events. The program investigates the broader implications for vital European waterways and seeks solutions for a future threatened by water scarcity. Listeners can find the podcast on NPO Luister and other platforms.
