Throughout Europe, extreme drought leads to level lows. On the Swiss-French border, a lake has now completely disappeared.
That’s what it’s about
The persistent drought is also affecting waters in Switzerland.
The Lac des Brenets has now completely dried up.
As early as July, shipping on the lake had to be stopped due to the low water level.
The Lac des Brenets near La Chaux-de-Fonds has completely dried up. The border lake between Switzerland and France is located in the Jura in the valley of the Doubs River. Under normal circumstances, it has a maximum depth of 26 meters and is 0.8 square kilometers in size.
As early as July, shipping on the lake had to be stopped due to the low water level. As the SRF reports, the lake has already threatened to dry out completely several times in recent years. According to measurements by the Federal Office for the Environment, the level of the lake has fallen abnormally seven times in recent years. In September 2018, it had already dried up completely once.
Switzerland and Europe have been struggling with water shortages and extreme drought for months. Boats also stranded on Lake Constance because of the low water level. Northern Italy is experiencing the lowest water levels in 70 years, Lake Garda has as little water as it has been for 15 years. In Germany, so-called hunger stones are uncovered in rivers due to the deep water levels, in Lake Mead, USA, corpses even appeared.
