Dunărea rămâne la un debit extrem de scăzut la intrarea în România/ Hidrologii estimează o posibilă revenire abia după 24–26 august/ Nivelul Dunării la Cernavodă scade cu 1-2 cm/zi, dar se va stabiliza

The Danube's flow at Baziaș will remain stable at 1,400 m³/s until August 17, significantly below the historical average. Recent rainfall has increased flows upstream, but this won't affect the Romanian section. Hydrologists indicate that substantial rainfall is needed for a stable improvement in the river's hydrological regime. Predictions suggest possible increases in flow after August 24-26, 2026, which could alleviate current critical low levels. Additionally, the water level at Cernavodă has decreased, with ongoing dredging operations to ensure water flow to the nuclear power plant. Climate change is expected to reduce average annual flows and increase the frequency of low flow periods.
