Water withdrawal in the Reutlingen district: ban extended until September 2025!
The drainage situation in the waters of the Reutlingen district remains tense. Despite some rainfall, the situation has not improved significantly, which is why the district office has decided to extend the general order prohibiting the withdrawal of water from public waters. This regulation applies until at least September 4, 2025, as gea.de reported.
More and more smaller streams and rivers have low water flows or have even dried up completely. This not only has an impact on the water supply, but also on the region's flora and fauna. The high water temperatures, caused by sunlight and persistent heat, also lead to a reduced oxygen content in the water. Even if thunderstorms and rain showers can improve water conditions in the short term, the long-term outlook is not very encouraging.
Public use remains restricted
Since July 3, 2023, water withdrawals from many public bodies of water in the Reutlingen district have been prohibited. Public use remains severely restricted for the period until September 4, 2023. However, there are some exceptions: water withdrawals from the Neckar, the Erms, the Echaz, the Großer Lauter (downstream from the confluence with the Gächinger Lauter), the Zwiefalter Aach and the Kesselbach are still permitted.
