biggest and my thesis rivers are drying up parts of europe from france to italy and germany. rivers are slowing to a trickle that's killing harvests halting, marine travin, hurting factories and industries. millions of livelihoods are now at stake, and in the world's 2nd largest economy, china, asia's longest river, is also shrinking as well after a heat wave that lasted more than 2 months since records began. fog reports, patrick fogg reports. now from chung ching, one of the hardest hit regions it's faint for being one of china's furnace cities with the longest summers and hottest temperatures. but in the last couple of months, the heat in the southwestern city of cha ching has been oppressive even by its own standards. mercury levels have frequently topped 40 degrees celsius and had an all
2:03 pm
time record high of 45 degrees. earlier this week, paula: yeah, it's hot as hell. i'm melting. many tourists come to john ching to marvel at its sites. jarling river might be what's most i catching now. it's a major tributary that meets the yen see further south, and it's dried up so much. people can walk half way across it. again, i'm definitely worried, it could effect residence and face that need to use the water forecasts as of one, the dry spell could last well into september. authorities have begun discharging water from the 3 gorges dam to replenish the yanks in its offshoots. but normal floes could still be months away. here in the city, people are cooling off wherever possible. his library converted out of an old air raid shelter has become a popular hang at. a breeze circulates through the funnel shaped space, making it an ideal hide away. when it's especially hot, more people come,
2:04 pm
but elsewhere it's hard to escape the effects of this heat wave and the drive that's come with it. a short drive south of the city as long gym village with insufficient irrigation crops here a dying. while this here shows pretty clearly why crops are struggling, the water for this field behind us has receded about 20 meters away from the crops . and what's been left behind is just this bone dry layer of mud report say more than 350000 people in rural chunking are suffering because of a shorter journey to supplies. many of them like one man, we spoke to our elderly and can't do much to fix the problem because they use a more irrigation systems. you have to buy pipes and machine. you said you have to spend the money and it's not worth it because the stuff is already dried and died. like, what's the point of water in if it's already dead? and with many scientists, a saying hotter days as
2:05 pm
a result of global warming are here to stay. days here for the people of long ging could be numbered. patrick voc, al jazeera, chunking china. david marana is a political economist. he thinks the heat waves and droughts will add to more pressure on china's economy comes on top of your current policy, which so most of this year has been a lot of economic activity is for china is a $5.00 with g p this year. we think they'll do 3 percent at most so it's also compounding an issue that was seen last year in the winter with blackouts in a number of cities. none of the major cities, but certainly 2nd center cities because they've been trying to reduce carbon emissions. and as a result, the coal fired power stations, many of them had been shut down, or they had to prove in the cities,
2:06 pm
they're operating. the factories were truly productive from using the energy. so this compounded what is occurring the summer is a major problem for industry. and in the challenging area which you didn't find a report. and it's a major manufacturing area for lithium batteries for the current history, electric power district. so this mess have inflation now in poly silicon and lithium. so it's, it's a major issue short term. but china moves quite specific in all the way. because so if you leave your roommate or get engaged, central decision making when it comes to resolving a problem and acting on something, it often can move much faster than other political cultures. so i think that in the situation you're facing, we will seeing as we go into next, a number of remedies. certainly, you know, to the, to the cation of energy sources. but right now,

it's very hard for the residence of many provinces and cities. in western europe, one of the most important rivers for farming industry and commerce is at risk of drawing up the rhine. flows through 6 european countries is germany's most important shipping route for transporting coal, iron, and other natural resources. dominant cane revolts from cologne on how germany's coal supply is now under threat. it could almost be a picture postcard of the rhine goods barges chug up and down the river while children explore the pebbles on the bank. and yet a closer look shows something else for in most summers, much of this area would be submerged. but months of high temperatures and little or no rainfall have changed things. or we see right now with a low, a water levels in rivers is the new normal or it's even worse. the new normal will be even more extreme. we have seen
2:08 pm
a global temperature increase of 1.2 degrees on global average right now seen from overhead. the situation is clear, this satellite image of nearby diesel doth shows the river. now, this one how it was in the same place 12 months ago. if the science of what's happening is clear, the practical application of it is causing problems for many different companies. the shipping ones in particular because they look at the ryan is, is now and have real concerns about how deep it is and how easily they can navigators. and crucially, how much each of their vessels can carry the foreman or on ships. bringing salt here from high lawn usually carry almost 2200 tons. now they're arriving with $600.00 tons. and that shows the less water, the less cargo on the ships. and in this year of war in ukraine, there is another drawback with russian coal now embargoed across the
2:09 pm
e. u. many companies have paid to ship a non russian alternative via the rhine instead. but as the demand has risen, so the water levels to allow it to be delivered have dwindled. right now, most shipping companies are concentrating on the near future with autumn just weeks away. they expect its cooler wet weather to replenish the fine. but some scientists say that too could bring danger if it starts to rain on touch, the dryer soils, the water can not infiltrate into the soil. and sir, we director gets off his run off into the water. it runs out of the system of catchment and a producer. such fresh rats as we know from, from california. for example. the rhine has run dryer in summer before, but not often. it will have to rain a lot to return the river to its more normal state. dominant cane al jazeera
