A boat is seen stranded on dry land along the Danube river bank in the city of Apatin

A boat is seen stranded on dry land along the Danube river bank in the city of Apatin, some 200 km (124 miles) north from Belgrade December 2, 2011. Record low water levels have pushed up power prices across the Balkans and may force local utilities to further boost expensive power imports to meet demand, market participants said on Wednesday. Serbias utility Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) and Bosnias second largest utility Elektroprivreda RS (EPRS) have already tapped power markets as water levels -- mainly on the Danube, Sava and Drina rivers -- have hit their lowest levels in 30 years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the surreal sight of a boat stranded on dry land along the Danube river bank in the city of Apatin. Taken by photographer Ivan Milutinovic, this image tells a story of the severe consequences brought about by record low water levels in December 2011. As power prices surged across the Balkans due to these unprecedented conditions, local utilities like Serbia's Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) and Bosnia's Elektroprivreda RS (EPRS) were forced to increase expensive power imports to meet demand. The photograph showcases the boat as an emblematic symbol of human vulnerability against nature's unpredictable forces. The barren landscape surrounding it serves as a stark reminder of how climate change can disrupt even our most essential resources. With water levels on major rivers such as Danube, Sava, and Drina hitting their lowest point in three decades, communities were left grappling with an energy crisis that affected both society and environment. Milutinovic's lens not only captures a visually striking scene but also prompts us to contemplate our relationship with nature and its delicate balance. It serves as a powerful call for action towards sustainable practices that can mitigate future environmental challenges. This thought-provoking image stands testament to the profound impact climate change has on our daily lives, urging us all to prioritize conservation efforts for generations to come.
