France's drought is pushing rivers and streams to some of their lowest levels on record. By early August, 43% of monitored streams had completely dried up-surpassing the country's severe 2022 drought-while major rivers including the Loire and Garonne also fell to unusually low levels, forcing water restrictions, early releases from hydroelectric reservoirs and even the temporary shutdown of a nuclear reactor because river water became too warm. Although key shipping routes remain open, authorities warn the situation could worsen if rain does not arrive by the end of the month. Sometimes the clearest sign of a drought is a river you can suddenly walk across.
