Low water level reveals wreck of a ship that sunk during WWII in the River Danube

epaselect epa10125539 The wreck of a ship that sunk during World War II is revealed by the unusually low water level of the River Danube near Vamosszabadi, nortwestern Hungary, 17 August 2022. Researchers of Budapest's ELTE university warned that Hungary faces persistent droughts over the next few decades unless measures are taken to stop climate change. Dry areas are likely to expand in parts of the Great Plain, in eastern Hungary, as well as in the north-western parts of the country. Comparing recent data to figures from the 1970s-80s, the proportion of wetlands have shrunk from 84 percent to 68 percent, they added. EPA/Csaba Krizsan HUNGARY OUT
