water management concept iwamako

But not only the campaign shows that there is something. The district of Lüneburg, together with the Hanseatic City of Lüneburg and the Elde side channel, has launched the "integrated water supply and water volume management concept" (Iwamako) in order to be able to better meet the challenges of the water balance. Landkreis-lueneburg.de informs about this dass The presentation of the concept on the 19th February 2024 took place in the environmental committee.

The falling groundwater levels, which primarily mobilize land and foresters in the region, are particularly worrying. Since climatic changes in the water shortage are also to blame, the first measures to strengthen the water balance have already been identified. This includes the use of excess water from the Elbe side channel for irrigation and the possibility of using clean water from sewage treatment plants to relieve the groundwater supplies.

The goal of the campaign and the Iwamako

If the promised drinking water supply should continue to be secured in the future, from 2030 there may be a threat to irrigating agricultural areas. In order to counteract this problem, the decision -makers need an open discussion about measures. Ultimately, both initiatives aim to protect resources, to open up alternative water sources and to promote the formation of groundwater in order to ensure the water supply in the region in the long term.

The close cooperation between water users, water authorities and nature conservation associations will be essential in order to integrate the recommendations of the Iwamako into urban development. The importance of such water management for the region is evident in a wide variety of approaches for urban and rural areas. However, without the commitment and willingness of all actors to act in the sense of water resource conservation, it will be difficult to make the water available to a sufficient extent in the future.
