Europe's shrinking rivers give rise to debate over how to tackle drought
Europe's shrinking rivers are disrupting industry, reducing power generation and intensifying the debate over how to respond to worsening drought. As water levels fall across the continent, authorities and businesses alike are looking for ways to keep freight moving and critical infrastructure operating. Hydrologists warn, however, that digging rivers deeper cannot create more water and could make shortages worse.
