Hidrologii au anunțat când ar urma să scadă Dunărea la cea mai mică valoare înregistrată vreodată. Recordul din 1985 va fi depășit

The Danube's flow at Baziaș is expected to decrease to 1350 cubic meters per second, below the historical minimum. Interventions by the Ministry of National Defense may help stabilize water levels near Cernavodă. Recent operations to blast the Pârjoaia rock aimed to raise water levels by 10-12 cm. Due to low flow, Cernavodă's Unit 1 was shut down on July 28. A national alert has been declared due to reduced electricity production from drought conditions.
