(cctv finance "world finance")the polish institute of meteorology and water management said on the 11th that due to continued high temperatures and insufficient rainfall, the water level of the country's longest river, the vistula river, has dropped to its lowest level in history, and cruise companies operating on the river have been affected.
according to the polish institute of meteorology and water management, data from a monitoring station in central warsaw showed that the water level of the vistula river dropped to 25 centimeters on the 8th of this month, a record low, and then dropped further to 20 centimeters on the 11th, while the water level here should normally be more than 100 centimeters. due to the drop in water levels, some cruise companies operating on the vistula river have chosen to suspend operations, while others have chosen to change routes.
the vistula river, which is more than 1,000 kilometers long, originates in southern poland. it is the longest river and the most important waterway in poland. for a long time, poland's energy structure has been dominated by coal, and a large amount of cooling water is required in the process of coal-fired power generation. hydrology experts say that the low water level of the vistula river will have a significant impact on the energy industry. in addition, the small amount of water in the river means that pollutants cannot be fully diluted, so water use at the consumer end may also be affected. the polish institute of meteorology and water management predicts that there may be heavy rains in the next few days, and the water level of the vistula river will rise accordingly.
