Debitul Dunării scade sub minimul din 1985

The Danube's flow may drop below the historical minimum recorded in 1985, prompting concerns about energy production and water levels. The National Institute of Hydrology forecasts a decrease to 1350 m3/s at Baziaș, below the 1400 m3/s threshold. Controlled shutdowns at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant have occurred due to low water levels. Recent operations to displace rocks near the Bala arm aim to raise water levels by 10-12 cm. The government has declared a national alert for August to address the extreme drought and its impact on energy production, allowing for quicker resource mobilization and emergency actions.
