Low water on the Rhine, in the picture Cologne-Sürth. Canada goose looking for food in the dry Rhine bed. The low water level on the Rhine is already having an impact on shipping, with push boats already only able to sail with half their cargo. If the water level continues to drop, shipping could come to a complete standstill. The situation is particularly dramatic because the water levels normally only drop sharply in late summer and early autumn.
