Hidrologii estimează că debitul Dunării ar putea scădea la 1350 mc/s până în 10 august - Economica.net

The Danube's flow at Baziaș is expected to decrease to 1350 m3/s, below the historical minimum of 1400 m3/s from 1985. The National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management (INHGA) notes that the average flow for August is 3900 m3/s. Forecasts for Cernavodă are uncertain due to potential interventions affecting the river's levels. Successful operations to displace rock near the Bala arm aim to raise water levels by 10-12 cm. The low flow has led to the controlled shutdown of Unit 1 at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant, which contributes about 20% of Romania's dispatchable electricity production. A national alert has been declared due to reduced energy production from drought conditions.
