欧洲约一半地区在7月经历各强度干旱，导致多条河流水位创历史新低 1。随着持续高温加剧水资源短缺，古代遗骸和二战军舰残骸在干涸河道中重见天日，同时鱼类因缺氧面临死亡威胁 1。气候学家彼得·格雷克指出，"我们看到的极端事件因人为气候变化而加剧，使其更加极端、更加频繁、更加强烈" 1。科罗拉多河位于历史低位，由7个美国州和墨西哥共享 1。
澳大利亚的Murray-Darling盆地同样面临数十年的水资源衰退危机 1。该盆地包含77,000公里河流，其中灌溉农业占用水资源的80-90% 1，河流水位下降已引发大规模鱼类死亡、湿地丧失等生态灾难 1。2012年，澳大利亚建立了对该盆地水资源提取的法律限制 1。为应对这一挑战，澳大利亚当局正在审查水资源管理计划并融入原住民传统知识。该河流经40多个原住民国家的土地 1。Murray-Darling盆地管理局在2月至5月进行了为期12周的公众咨询，联系了超过2,900名参与者和500多个原住民群体 1。
Extreme drought conditions across Europe have driven multiple rivers to historic lows during the summer months, exposing long-buried artifacts and threatening aquatic ecosystems.1 The widespread water shortage is intensifying concerns about similar crises unfolding in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin, where declining water levels have already triggered massive fish die-offs and wetland degradation.1
Europe experienced drought of varying severity across approximately half its territory in July.1 The Colorado River, shared by seven U.S. states and Mexico, has fallen to historic lows.1 These receding waters have exposed mammoth remains and World War II naval wreckage, while fish populations face acute oxygen depletion.1 Climate scientist Peter Gleick warned that "the extreme events we're seeing are being intensified by human-caused climate change, making them more extreme, more frequent and more intense."1
Australia's Murray-Darling Basin—encompassing 77,000 kilometers of rivers that supply irrigation water for agriculture consuming 80 to 90 percent of the system's resources—has endured decades of decline.1 Legal restrictions on water extraction from the basin were established in 2012.1 Between February and May, the Murray-Darling Basin Authority conducted a twelve-week public consultation that engaged more than 2,900 participants and over 500 Indigenous groups.1 Bradley Moggridge noted that the river system flows through the lands of more than 40 Indigenous nations.1 Authorities are now reassessing water management plans and integrating Indigenous knowledge into policy decisions.
