- 11Beavers released into desert to save dying river show results●Beavers were brought to the desert to save a dying river. 6 years later, here are the results.
Beavers were introduced to a desert river six years ago in an effort to restore a waterway that was dying. The results of that experiment are now being reported, and the story is drawing attention for its unusual premise: using a rodent famous for dam-building to bring life back to an arid landscape. Restoration projects like this are closely watched as a possible model for reviving degraded rivers elsewhere.

A Dutch cruise ship has run aground on the Rhine near Cologne, with reports noting the river is at its lowest level ever recorded. The grounding is drawing attention to the consequences of extreme drought for shipping on the Rhine, a vital waterway for cargo and passenger transport between the Netherlands and Germany. Low water forces vessels to carry lighter loads, and incidents like this fuel concern about further disruptions on one of Europe's busiest rivers.
