Controlled water consumption? Fixed watering periods? A growing world population and resource intensive economies coupled with severe climate conditions exert stress on local freshwater resources. For many regions the climate crisis is essentially a water crisis and restrictive water policies have become part of everyday life. The Berlin-Brandenburg region will also have to reassess the ways in which it consumes water. The extreme heat waves and droughts of 2018 gave us a first taste of the conditions the population will have to adapt to. A particularly alarming trend is the decreasing reproduction rate of groundwater as a critical resource. What does this entail for urban and rural environments in Berlin-Brandenburg?
