The drought is having a significant impact on the European economy, with the reduced water levels in the Rhine River forcing ships to carry only 30% of their usual cargo. This has led to the need for additional vessels and has hampered the transport of goods such as chemicals, petroleum, and other merchandise. Experts warn that this episode is one of the most significant in the past few decades, and its total cost could surpass 50 billion euros if the water scarcity persists.
The summer heat wave may also result in a total economic impact of up to 180 billion euros, potentially exacerbating inflation pressures and reducing consumer spending. The drought is also affecting data centers, which rely on water for cooling, and could pose a threat to the continent's rapid growth in digital infrastructure.
