Zoran Đuroković, the chief director of Croatian Water, has highlighted the concerning status of the Danube River system, noting that Croatia is currently experiencing record-low water levels. Đuroković reported that the river reached another historically low reading on the previous day, signaling a significant drop in the overall water volume. The measurements indicate that the current conditions represent a substantial decline compared to past records.
Specifically, the water level recorded at Batina reached a point 20 centimeters lower than the previous established record. This reading places the current minimum at 147 centimeters. Furthermore, the data shows that the Danube has reached its lowest point recorded since 1909, matching the historical low mark of 147 centimeters.
These readings underscore the severity of the hydrological situation along the Danube. Experts are closely monitoring the rate at which the water level is dropping, as these sustained low readings have implications for navigation, ecological balance, and water management across the region. The continuous monitoring of the river’s flow and the maintenance of accurate data regarding the water level are crucial for assessing the long-term impact of these climatic conditions.
The sustained low level of the Danube continues to be a primary focus for water resource management authorities.
