Europe is experiencing a severe drought, leading to record low water levels on the Danube River. This has significantly disrupted river traffic, stranding cargo ships and forcing cruise ships to dock far from popular destinations. The drought is also impacting nuclear power generation, as reduced water flow necessitates the shutdown of reactor units for cooling purposes. Additionally, the receding waters have exposed historical artifacts and potential dangers, such as World War II-era bombs. AI
