Duck races in Harras: Despite low water tension guaranteed!

The home club and the fair company in Harras set a happy sign of the community: The second duck race of the place will take place next Saturday. After the unsuccessful attempt last year, which fell into the water due to floods, the event promises excitement and fun - despite the currently strongly sunken water levels of the Werra. This has currently shrunk heavily due to the weather, but the attractive environment with their lush green loves to hug the participants and spectators. With all challenges, the optimism remains great that the race will be a complete success. For example, Insuedthueringen that the organizers are looking forward to many happy faces.

If you are looking for other options for water days, you should mark the Sunday, July 2, in the calendar. The BUND Thuringia invites you to a children's action day in the Meininger Schlosspark from 1 p.m. According to the motto "Werra - water - bathing fun", there is not only another duck race, but also giant soap bubbles, water features and the opportunity to swim in the river. The water quality of the Werra has improved considerably in recent years, so that Baden is in principle safe. Nevertheless, there are some restrictions: In the event of flood and low water, the waistband advises against a bath to ensure safety. The federal government continues to reduce the salt initiations, which are carried out by the potash industry in order to minimize the load on the river. According to Burkhard Vogel from the federal government, the water quality in the upper reaches is good, while the lower river course is heavily polluted by potash salts. Information about this comes on BUND-THUERINGEN.

environmental protection and water tests

Back to Werra: If you want to make sure that the water is in perfect condition, you can become active. Because the bathing water quality depends on several factors. In order to check pollutant loads, citizens can have their own water samples tested and submit to laboratories. Regular sample frames are carried out at various points of the river to determine differences in water quality. While water quality has improved in the past 30 years, residues such as oils, microplastics and heavy metals remain challenges that need to be mastered. In the event of uncertainties, a question from the responsible community is recommended to gain clarity. More information about water quality Wasserqualitaet.net.
