The Rhine is also very low

My in-laws are on their way to Europe. They were supposed to take a river cruise, but there's not enough water in the river and the boat ran aground. Hungary and Romania have had to shut down nuclear power plants because they can't get enough cooling water from the Danube.

f**king scary times.

There are going to be serious water shortages in the not too distant future

Governments fault.. UK wise there's not been a major reservoir built since 1992, we had 4 months of straight rainfall and surely would have filled up a few more if they had of been built. Increase in demand due to population increases serious lack of planning from successive governments.

(Stats for Europe a bit vague apparently a couple dozen been built but surely more should have been built since 90s)

Surely reservoirs could be built to collect rain water?  Or is that too simple?


I know this isn't a big story in terms of the fires in Spain, France and Greece etc. but looking at gaa pitches in the south last week-end, a lot of them were yellow. In brutal condition with the water ban. Really poor.

Absolutely. But I'm talking world wide. And these f**king data centres that are using countless amounts so people can make shitty ai videos is only compounding the problem
