Danube Flow to Fall Well Below Average Through December; Regional Basins at Risk

Romanian hydrologists project Danube River flow at the Baziaș entry section to remain below multiannual averages for October-December 2026, with interior rivers at 30-80% of monthly norms and potential drops below 30% in the Râmnicu Sărat, Bârlad, and Dobrogea basins. This continues a pattern of low flows, raising concerns for navigation, agriculture, and water supply in the region.
