The Water Level of “Lake Biwa” in Japan has Dropped, Which May Cause a Water shortage in the Kansai Region
Japan’s largest freshwater lake “Lake Biwa” has been affected by drought and a drastic drop in rainfall in the Kinki region in the past six months, and the lake level has continued to drop. The drop in water levels has changed the lake’s landscape and affected the livelihoods of surrounding fishermen. If the water level continues to drop, it may trigger a water shortage crisis in the Kansai region.
