WorldNew satellite images show Europe’s disappearing rivers due to drought

About half of Europe’s land is experiencing drought, with water levels falling from the Danube to the Rhine. The Global Drought Observatory says conditions have worsened across Central and Western Europe since summer began, while the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre reports record-low levels in the Loire, Po, Rhine and Danube. Satellite imagery shows wider exposed riverbeds, declining soil moisture and yellowing urban green spaces.
