Energy concerns are rising in Eastern Europe due to extremely low water levels. A major river is affected, with levels in one capital city reaching a new low. The previous record was set a few years ago, but current levels are significantly lower.

Water levels are expected to remain low for some time, as no significant rain is forecast. This situation is exacerbated by high temperatures, which are driving up electricity and water use. Governments in the region are taking action to conserve energy and prevent a crisis.
