Submerged Indonesian village re-emerges as drought lowers water levels

Drone footage shows the remains of a submerged village re-emerging from Indonesia’s Karian Reservoir after a drought.

Shallow water is imposing tighter limits on how much ship cargo can float down the river — sending prices up for riverboat freight and heaping pressure on the government to act.

The ships, some still laden with weapons, belonged to Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet that the Germans deliberately sank

Germany’s rivers are running at exceptionally low levels, disrupting river cruises, pushing up transport costs and putting pressure on industry. Economists warn the effects could spread further if the drought continues.
