Due to factors such as multiple heatwaves and reduced rainfall since May, water levels in some sections of the Danube River, the second largest river in Europe, have dropped to historic lows. This not only affected agricultural irrigation, shipping, and tourism, but also caused situations such as fishermen being unable to operate properly and nuclear power plants being forced to shut down reactors due to lack of cooling water, which seriously impacted the economic activities of relevant European countries, and also made people feel the harsh reality of climate change firsthand. The Danube has a total length of more than 2,800 kilometers and a basin area of about 800,000 square kilometers. It flows through more than 10 countries, including Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria, and flows into the Black Sea from Romania. As water levels in many sections of the river drop to unprecedented lows, a large number of rocks, sandbars, and shipwrecks that have been hidden under the water all year round have been exposed, showing a rare scene.
