A prolonged drought and another heatwave are pushing parts of western Germany toward severe water shortages, with the Rhine River in Cologne facing critically low levels that are disrupting passenger and cargo shipping. Authorities expect temperatures to approach 40 degrees Celsius in some areas, while Cologne has installed water sprinklers to help residents cope with the heat. Falling water levels are forcing passenger operators to remove some larger vessels from service and navigate remaining boats with greater caution, while further declines could restrict cargo vessels and reduce the amount of goods they can transport along one of Europe's key commercial waterways. #germanydrought #germanyheatwave #rhineriver #rhinedrought #cologne #europeheatwave #europedrought In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram: htt
