Drought Impact on Bavarian Rivers

Persistent drought has led to decreased water levels in the Bavarian rivers, particularly the Danube and Main. The Danube is nearing low water thresholds, raising concerns for future navigation profitability.

In contrast, the Main's levels remain stable due to regulated barrages, currently posing no immediate issues. The Rhine also recorded its lowest levels in over 40 years.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, aware that sustained dryness could create challenges for shipping in the summer. While navigation is not currently impeded, the potential for future difficulties looms if rainfall does not improve conditions.

Water levels on the Main and Danube have dropped due to drought

Due to persistent drought, water levels on the Bavarian rivers Danube and Main have dropped. The Danube is only just above the low water level, while the Main is regulated by barrages and currently shows no problems. Although navigation is not currently affected, persistent low water levels on the Danube could endanger the profitability for companies. The authorities are monitoring the situation and expect the situation to remain stable in the coming days.

Low Precipitation: Water Levels on the Main and Danube Dropped Due to Drought

On the Danube in Bavaria, water levels are dropping due to ongoing drought, with the gauge measured at 2.03 meters on Monday morning, which poses a risk of low water levels. Currently, there are no restrictions for shipping; however, continued drought could affect the profitability of shipping. In contrast, the situation on the Main is more relaxed, as the water level is regulated by weirs and current flows are significantly above the threshold values.

Lowest Water Levels in 40 Years for April in Kaub

In April 2023, the water level in Kaub on the Rhine recorded the lowest water levels in over 40 years. According to Florian Krekel from the Rhine Waterways and Shipping Authority, the entire spring has been very dry. While there are currently no short-term problems for shipping, the long-term development remains uncertain, especially if no rainfall occurs. Although there has already been low water, the previous rainfall has not led to a significant improvement in the situation.
