Dear readers, Since the last issue, our newsletter has had a new look, which seems to have gone down well with you. This success encourages us to continue developing our formats and even to experiment here and there – not for nothing are we scientists (almost all of us). Starting with this issue, our newsletters

How do we use water? What is the state of our water resources? What are the impacts of climate change? Important questions to which there are often no simple answers. Only one thing is certain: Due to climate change, the management of water resources faces new challenges. For this reason, we concentrate all our efforts

The summer 2020 was the second hottest since records began in 1881 and particularly the northeast of Germany with less than 500 litres of annual precipitation per square meter was much too dry, also in Berlin. This has serious consequences on natural groundwater reserves. KWB is concentrating its research efforts on finding strategies to deal
