Europe's largest rivers are drying up. The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service reports that water flow in 12 of the continent's major waterways hit a 30-year low this summer. The decline threatens hydropower generation, nuclear plant cooling and river-borne freight, raising concerns about energy security and trade as climate change drives more frequent droughts across the continent.

Why now: The Copernicus Climate Change Service has just released new data showing record-low river flows across Europe.
