I agree with all of the text in your article.

It's unfortunate that the picture - only the picture, nothing else - you are using is not actually accurate - that this wing of the Loire dries up almost every year.

There's a long analysis here, that concludes:

✅ Yes, we are facing a serious #sécheresse [drought]. The flow la #Loire is very reduced, on certain sections at its lowest level since 1976.

❌ No, the river is not dry. By showing a dead arm, these photos are at least a dramatization of the situation.

Again, everything you say is true, and we are in a desperate crisis - it's just that that one image is misleading.
