Danube flow drops to 1,400 m³/s, lowest in years; Romania warns of severe drought

The Danube's flow at Baziaş, Romania's entry point, has fallen to 1,400 m³/s, far below the September average of 3,800 m³/s, with a further drop to 1,300 m³/s forecast by September 14. This is one of the most severe hydrological periods in recent years, threatening navigation, water supply, and ecosystems. The situation is part of a broader regional drought pattern, but the severity and rapid decline are notable.
