OUR WATER TODAY

Our water can contain a variety of pollutants and substances that can be harmful to both human health and the environment.

Our water quality is catastrophic

Our water can contain a variety of pollutants and substances that can be harmful to both human health and the environment.

Common pollutants:

Heavy metals:

Lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic and other heavy metals can enter water from various sources such as industrial waste, mining and agriculture. They can cause serious health problems such as nerve damage, kidney damage and cancer.

Pesticides and herbicides:

These chemical pesticides are used in agriculture and can enter groundwater via soil and surface water. They can impair reproductive function, damage the nervous system and be carcinogenic.

Nitrate and nitrite:

Nitrate and nitrite mainly come from fertilizers and manure from agriculture. They can be converted in the body into nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic. Nitrate can also impair the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood in infants and lead to the so-called "blue baby syndrome".

Drug residues:

Pharmaceuticals and their degradation products enter the water via wastewater. They can promote the development of resistance in bacteria and have negative effects on flora and fauna.

Microplastics:

Small plastic particles from cosmetics, clothing and other products can enter waterways via wastewater. They can be ingested by fish and other organisms and thus enter the food chain.


Per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS):

PFAS are used in various industrial products and can enter the environment via air and water. They are persistent, bioaccumulative and can have negative effects on human health, including thyroid function, the immune system and reproductive capacity.


Hormonally active substances:

These substances can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body and have negative effects on reproductive ability, child development and the risk of cancer.

Impact on the environment:

Pollutants in water can have a serious impact on flora and fauna. They can lead to fish deaths, species extinction and ecosystem degradation. Many diseases around the world could be either greatly reduced or completely eliminated by a supply of clean water.

According to UNICEF, up to 9 million stillbirths each year are due to environmental pollution, including contaminated water.

PROBLEM ANALYSIS & NEEDS

Global water problem

Water scarcity: In many regions of the world, water is becoming increasingly scarce. Climate change, population growth and intensive agriculture are increasing the pressure on water resources.
Water pollution: Industrial wastewater, agricultural chemicals and household waste pollute rivers, lakes and groundwater. This endangers people's health and the environment. Inequitable access to water: Millions of people, especially in developing countries, do not have access to clean drinking water and basic sanitation.

Need for innovative solutions:

To solve the global water problem, innovative technologies are needed for: Water treatment: New technologies for cleaning polluted water must be developed to make it usable for human consumption or irrigation. Well regeneration: Silted or polluted wells must be regenerated to ensure access to groundwater.

Future developments:

It is expected that further water-related laws and regulations will be enacted in the coming years to address the challenges of climate change, water scarcity and environmental pollution.

Key players:

Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) Federal Environment Agency (UBA)
European Commission
European Parliament

World Health Organization (WHO)
