- Drinking water demand has sharply increased in Jülich and other NRW communities due to recent high temperatures.
- Jülich’s utility company urges residents to conserve water by avoiding lawn watering and filling pools.
- A local water association reports up to 40% higher consumption and a shortfall of 700,000 liters in supply.
- Climate change worsens the issue as groundwater levels replenish slowly, raising the likelihood of future shortages.
Every liter saved helps to keep the supply system stable.— Michael Kasche, head of the Am Wiehen Water Supply Association, who urged residents in Bad Oeynhausen, Hille, Hüllhorst, and Löhne to reduce their water use.
