Water Future Bavaria 2050

The impact of climate change on water supply in Bavaria, Germany, has resulted in more frequent and severe flooding and falling groundwater levels. It has also increased water demand in agriculture, caused drought, and led to damage to forests and aquatic ecosystems. To address these challenges, Water Future Bavaria 2050 has emerged as a vision. This aligns with the Bavarian government’s initiatives. These include the Water Security 2050 program and the Bavarian Waters Action Program 2030 (PRO Gewässer 2030).

The Water Security 2050 program focuses on drought. It aims to improve basic services, such as access to safe drinking water. Also, it works to evaluate and adapt technical water infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Bavarian Waters Action Program 2030 focuses on flood management, ecology, and social functions. It invests around €200 million annually in flood protection and ecological water management.

The key program areas in Water Future Bavaria 2050 are communication, research, and data management. The Bavarian government has already begun implementing these programs. However, achieving those goals will require cooperation from various stakeholders. These include authorities, municipalities, farmers, and forest owners, as well as industry, trade associations, and planners from different disciplines. At ABEREUS, we’re ready to support the successful implementation of those projects.
