. darling river might be what's most i catching now? it's a major tributary that meets the yancey 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 place that need to use the water. for classes 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. this 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, 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 were some 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 was already dried and died . like, what's the point of water in if it's already dead? and with many scientists saying hot a days as a result of global warming are here to stay. days here for the people of long gin could be numbered. patrick fock, al jazeera, chunking, china, and in europe,

one of the most important rivers for farming industry in commerce is threatening to run. try the ryan flows through 6 european countries. it's germany's most important shipping route for transport and coal, iron, and other natural resources. dominic cane reports 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, show 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 or water levels in rivers is the new normal or it's even worse of the new normal will be even more extreme. we have seen 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 dusseldorf 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 as it 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 3rd one ships bringing salt here from high up on, 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 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, wetter weather to replenish the fine. but some scientists say that to could bring danger if it starts to rain as on touch, the dryer saws that the water can not infiltrate into the soil. and sir, we diety a gets off his run off, and the water runs out of the system of our catchment and produces some 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 cologne . well, there is no indian side to heavy seasonal ryans,
