I'm originally from the Rhine river area and I still spend time there. It's certainly true that the water level was low this summer, but it was an exceptionally long and hot summer. I found interesting that my grandma labeled the it "a summer like the summers we were used to long time ago".
There's even a famous german song "Wann wird's mal wieder richtig Sommer?" (When will we have a real summer again?).
Btw since it was basically constantly raining from Oct-Dec, the river replenished really quickly.
