What changed
- The Petrovaradin backwater shows a practical consequence of low water: fish are trapped in warm pools and anglers are asking for urgent intervention.
- The official 18 August report confirms continuing low water and forecasts levels below low navigation marks; changes in practical impacts require further checking with sector sources.
- Fresh readings point to a continued fall, while authorities are also monitoring whether water diversion in Hungary could affect levels near Paks.
