Europe’s low water reveals ancient remains.
Europe’s rivers are at record low levels due to heat and drought. This is causing ancient remains and shipwrecks to be found. The situation is a serious environmental and historical problem.
Extreme heat and drought are causing rivers like the Danube and Rhine to have very low water. This is affecting countries like Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Nuclear power plants were shut down in Hungary and Romania because of the low water levels. Archaeologists are finding ancient artifacts and even a woolly mammoth skeleton. The drought is causing problems for shipping, energy, and tourism in eastern Europe.
