„Es wird Zielkonflikte geben": Bodenkundler Tobias Weber über Wasserstrategien.

The soil scientist Tobias Weber is researching water strategies in agriculture. In recent years, the variability of precipitation has increased, which can lead to conflicts of interest, as water is needed both for agriculture and for groundwater replenishment. In order to be able to absorb large amounts of precipitation and at the same time retain water during dry periods, the soils need to be prepared. Region-specific solutions and adaptive groundwater management could help with this. The digitization of the water sector should progress in order to enable reliable irrigation commitments. Farmers who are interested in technical solutions are already proficient in irrigation, while others need support in switching technologies. [Extracted from the article]
