Danube Drought Creates Land Bridge Between Croatian River Island and Serbia’s Mainland

A severe drought has caused water levels in the Danube to fall dramatically, exposing a temporary land bridge between a Croatian river island and Serbia’s mainland. The unusual formation has attracted attention from local residents and visitors, but authorities warn that conditions can change quickly as water levels fluctuate. The drought is also affecting navigation, agriculture, and ecosystems along the river. Environmental experts say prolonged low rainfall could increase pressure on regional water supplies and wildlife in the wider region.
