World Rivers Day highlights rivers running on empty
Original: World Rivers Day: Why rivers are running on empty
World Rivers Day is drawing attention to the worsening state of the world's rivers, many of which are shrinking, drying up or suffering from pollution and overuse. Coverage focuses on why rivers are 'running on empty', pointing to climate change, drought, damming and excessive water extraction as pressures leaving major waterways depleted and ecosystems at risk.
Why now: The annual observance of World Rivers Day is prompting fresh discussion about rivers' decline.
