The Rhine and Danube rivers have reached historically low levels, a phenomenon that is having significant repercussions on the European economy. This situation began in the rivers but quickly expanded to other areas of economic activity on the continent.
The water shortage in these major rivers is causing disruptions in the circulation of goods, as many river transport routes have been affected or have become impassable. Companies are facing higher transport costs and logistical difficulties that did not exist before.
Some power plants are also experiencing limitations due to the situation, which further aggravates the problem. Entire industrial sectors are becoming more vulnerable to this disruption, which differs from a conventional breakdown by its nature - unlike a technical problem that can be resolved by replacing a part, this situation has no immediate solution.
