Schimbări climatice pe Dunăre: Secetă și riscuri

Climate change is altering the seasonal distribution of water in the Danube, leading to increased variability in water levels. Warmer winters and early snowmelt result in more water in early spring but less during summer, impacting agriculture, energy, and navigation. Romania, situated downstream, faces significant challenges as low water levels affect commercial transport and hydroelectric production. The frequency of droughts is expected to rise, complicating water management for various sectors. Adaptation strategies are essential for mitigating these impacts, including infrastructure investments and improved water usage.
