Rhine Water Level at German Kaub Drops Again Toward 1 Meter
The Rhine water level at the critical bottleneck of Kaub in Germany is falling to very low levels due to persistent drought, with predictions indicating it may drop below 10 centimeters by Thursday and potentially become negative by month's end. This decline severely restricts freight transport, forcing German companies to incur higher costs as ships carry less cargo, while Dutch authorities warn of limited navigable depth and longer waiting times for commercial vessels on rivers like the Boven-IJssel.
