Status of rivers around the world - drying up in northern hemisphere

 The world's rivers have had a very hard and bad summer around the world. Many are becoming impassable for shipping because they are so low, and also these are water sources for tens to hundreds of millions of people. It is clear they are drying up from so many droughts that have been in progress, especially in the northern hemisphere where most of the land-mass of the earth is located. And those droughts have been accelerated and made worse through human-induced climate change. Check out this link where you can see satellite photos of 6 major rivers in the past compared to today

This photo is from 2019 in India - the Narmada River in the Narsinghpur Province. There's little left for this and many more farmers along that river.
