Overview

• The Bodensee's water level has fallen to 2.70 meters, 35 cm below the seasonal average, but remains above the record low of 2.29 meters set in February 2006.
• Minimal rainfall and reduced snowmelt from the Alps are identified as the primary factors behind the ongoing drought conditions.
• Harbors in Langenargen, Immenstaad, and Bad Schachen are currently inaccessible to passenger ships due to low water levels, disrupting local maritime activities.
• Drinking water supplies remain unaffected as water is sourced from a depth of 70 meters, ensuring stability for millions of residents who rely on the lake.
• Weather forecasts predict no rain until Sunday, when light showers may bring a slight improvement to the lake's water levels.
