Europe Dodges a Rhine Crisis for the Worst Possible Reason
The Rhine has slightly risen from its mid-August record low (when Kaub’s water level gauge – at the river’s decisive chokepoint – was below 10 cm), but the relief is mostly optical.
AI Summary
The Rhine’s water level has risen only marginally from a mid‑August record low, with the Kaub gauge still below 10 cm, meaning barges cannot carry normal loads. This shortfall is restricting freight capacity along the industrial corridor linking Rotterdam, Antwerp, southern Germany, eastern France and Switzerland, driving up transport costs and limiting chemical production and fuel supply.
