Fadel Dawod / GettyA marina is seen surrounded by exposed riverbed as water levels remain low along the Waal River in Nijmegen, Netherlands, on August 8, 2026. The Netherlands is facing an ongoing drought and water shortage as exceptionally low river flows continue across the country. The low water levels are affecting inland shipping—vessels are forced to reduce their loads as navigable depths decrease.
