Dryness leads to water withdrawal ban in Dahme-Spreewald!

In the district of Dahme-Spreewald, a temporary ban on water withdrawal from the Spree and Dahme has come into force, and there are reasons for this. The dryness and the inadequate rainfall over the winter have led to extremely low water levels. According to lr-online.de applies from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Cities of Lübben and Luckau as well as the municipalities of Märkische Heide, Heideblick and several offices. This is already a sign that many counties in the region should consider.

In Südbrandenburg, the first counties pull the ripcord. Both Dahme-Spreewald and Spree-Neisse have given a ban on water. The situation, which not only results from the local weather conditions, is particularly worrying, but also from the long -term climate changes. While the weather forecasts do not expect to calm down, the support from water from dams that have been made since May is becoming more and more urgent.

reasons for the ban

like the RBB24 reports, the ban is directly related to the insufficient winter strokes that have led to an unstable water balance. The Spree, which is supported by supply lines from Saxon dams, cannot currently deliver enough water. The drainage on the Wehr Leibsch level has dropped greatly, which further tightens the situation.

The ongoing temperature increases and the changing course of precipitation are already visible in many climate projections. The Environmental Office has been provided with detailed examinations that show that climate -related changes strongly influence the water balance of rivers. This makes water withdrawal and cooling more complicated, and the water is less usable due to temperature.

discipline and sustainability asked

The consequences are particularly serious for agriculture and water -related uses. Municipalities such as Spremberg, Drebkau and many more in the Free catchment area are forced to use water more economically. The ban in Südbrandenburg could have far -reaching consequences for summer if the water levels remain destabilized. The city of Cottbus plans to introduce appropriate measures.

The question that many ask themselves is: how is it going? The intensifying low water situation not only means that there is less water, but that the ecological health of our waters is also at stake. In view of these challenges, we have to think about our water consumption and more consciously deal with the resource of water. The goal is clear: a sustainable handling of water must be promoted by joint action in the affected regions.
