Low Water Level On The River Elbe In Magdeburg As A Result Of Climate Change

People sit along the river promenade near exposed rocks and vegetation due to low water levels on the River Elbe in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, on August 25, 2022. The drought conditions linked to climate change significantly lower the river's water level, exposing large sections of the riverbed. (Photo by Michael Nguyen/NurPhoto)
