Hessen starts water manager: secure the future of rivers by 2027!
As part of a new program to improve the rivers and streams in Hesse by 2027, the Hessian Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (HMLU) introduced a corresponding “water manager”. This commitment is in accordance with the European Water Framework Directive (WRRL), which aims to put water into a "good ecological state". Taunus Nachrichten reports that the water manager supports municipalities and water associations in planning and implementing renaturation projects as an external service provider is.
The challenges are comprehensive, in particular the shortage of skilled workers and the increasing demands on the municipalities and water associations. In order to meet these challenges, the financing of the water manager is completely taken over by the state of Hesse. The first municipalities have already signed agreements, and 82 municipalities in Hesse are already eligible to participate.
The program is designed until 2027, an extension is possible.
The water manager in detail
The water manager not only acts as a project tax, but also takes over the approval procedures and public relations. The Hessische Landgesellschaft mbH (HLG) has taken on the role of the water manager and recently organizes a kick -off meeting to explain the goals and tasks. The cooperation with the regional councils and counties is crucial because they complete the agreements and issue permits.
A central aspect of the WRRL, which also forms the basis for the Hessian program, is the comprehensive collection of data on the condition of the water. Environmental Federal Office explains that the WRRL combines modern approaches to water protection and is tailored to national and European requirements. In Germany, ten river units are shown that cover the entire water network and are responsible for the implementation of the WRRL in the respective regions.
meaning and future of the waters in Hesse
The program in Hessen is based on the successful project "100 Wild Breaks for Hesse" and shows the country's commitment to improve the quality of water sustainably. Long -term planning plays a key role. The current management period of the WRRL, which lasts until 2027, ensures that the overarching goals of water protection will continue to be pursued in the future. The federal states bear the main responsibility for the implementation of the WRRL, while the federal government provides the framework for the federal waterways.
Ultimately, the connection between professional support and public participation is the key to success of this initiative. With the new water manager, another step towards sustainable water management in Hesse is taken to ensure the ecological health of the rivers and streams and to leave a living water balance.
