CroatiaThe water levels of Croatia's major rivers, including the Danube at Batin, the Drava at Osijek, and the Sava at Županja, have reached historically low levels, threatening navigation, irrigation, and river ecosystems. These record-low levels have forced residents to adapt to changing conditions, with some recalling past floods but noting this extreme dryness is unprecedented. Local inhabitants report challenges such as reduced fish populations and blocked waterways due to sediment buildup, which they argue needs urgent cleaning to maintain river flow. The phenomenon has also revealed natural landscapes like sandy beaches resembling the famous Zlatni Rat in Slavonia, highlighting the impact of climate change and heatwaves on the region.
