Poland's Vistula River has reached a historic low, with water levels in Warsaw dropping to just 25 centimeters, the lowest recorded since monitoring began, attributed to ongoing drought conditions and climate change. The extremes of this year have led to unprecedented low levels, with the river's current depth measuring only 22 cm, significantly below the normal range of 105-250 cm. This situation has been exacerbated by a lack of rainfall and higher temperatures, prompting concerns over the river's ecological and operational health. Similar drought conditions are affecting the Paraguay River in South America, which has also hit record lows, disrupting grain transportation vital for exports. As both rivers face declining levels, the impact on agriculture and navigation raises alarm for economies reliant on these waterways. Experts predict continued low water levels for the foreseeable future, emphasizing the need for adaptive measures.
