In the past, markings were often placed in quay walls after floods to show how high the water had risen. Conversely, in extreme drought, markings were placed in so-called 'hunger stones' and usually a sad message was added to them. Long dry summers, in which the rivers became very low and unnavigable, often meant the beginning of a period of dull misery for the population. For example, a stone in the Elbe in the Czech Decin bears the year 1616 and the saying "If you see me, cry." In large parts of Central Europe it was so dry in the spring and summer that the summer harvest failed completely.
fake history. man made global warming was invented during the industrial revolution. before then, there was no climate change, no low or high rivers, or anything of the sort. aboriginal people freely walked backwards and forwards between australia and asia daily up until jan 1 1700 when half the worlds glaciers suddenly melted on their own, and the arafura sea magically appeared out of nowhere in a way that no one ever noticed, but must have been completely local as it appears no other sea on the planet magically filled up bang on the turn of the industrial revolution which is when we totally killed the world.
