WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
Low water on the Rhine at Kaub has reached record levels that now threaten barge traffic. The river gauge has dropped to one centimeter, well below the roughly 48 centimeters needed for safe passage, and shipping is expected to halt soon. The reports agree on the severity of the conditions and their direct impact on commercial navigation.
