Dried-up rivers are bad news for everything — including industries: Droughts hitting the US, Europe, and China are having a dire impact on factory operations, agricultural production, with mns in risk of blackout, the Financial Times reports. Record-low water levels at the US’ Colorado Basin — an important water resource for Nevada, Arizona, and California — and the Rhine, Europe’s second-largest river, are holding up supply chains as cargo ships are at risk of running aground when fully loaded. The crisis is also felt in Italy, where drought and record lows at the Po River, the longest in the country, is impacting the country’s agricultural production. In China, several companies, including Toyota and Foxconn, suspended factory operation for at least a week over growing hydropower shortages. China’s crucial Yangtze River, the longest in Asia, reached its lowest level on record this month.
