Rhine drops further to record low: 45,000 liters per second less flowing through in two days than in August
The water level in the Lower Rhine is falling to an unprecedented low, with discharge expected to decrease by 45,000 liters per second compared to mid-August. This historic drop causes significant disruptions for shipping, including grounded vessels and restricted loads, while experts warn that without rain in source regions like Switzerland and Southern Germany, levels may fall even further to 6 meters at Lobith within two weeks.
