De ce nu putem muta rapid marfa de pe Dunăre pe tren sau șosea când fluviul devine prea mic. Seceta lovește economia europeană

Low water levels in the Danube and Rhine are disrupting goods transport and energy production across Europe, particularly affecting Romania. The country relies heavily on inland waterways, with nearly 19% of its goods transported this way. As water levels drop, shipping capacities are reduced, leading to increased transport costs. The Danube's low levels have also forced the shutdown of two reactors at the Cernavodă nuclear power plant, which typically provides about 20% of Romania's electricity. This situation is exacerbated by a broader drought affecting multiple European regions, impacting both energy and transport sectors. The Rhine's low levels are similarly straining Germany's industrial supply chains, highlighting the interconnectedness of transport and energy vulnerabilities across Europe.
