Water PRESERVE: Expertise and Practice for a Safe Water Future

Water is a central resource for agriculture, municipalities, and regional development. The event Water PRESERVE brings together experts, practitioners, and municipal representatives on November 11, 2026, at the Erlangen-Höchstadt District Office. The focus will be on sustainable water storage, efficient irrigation, and concrete solutions for the district.

Storing Water and Using it Responsibly

The heat and dryness of the past summer months demonstrate how essential proactive water management has become. The lectures and practical contributions will address how water can be better stored and surface water can be used more sustainably for irrigation. The event connects technical information with regional examples, providing a well-founded context for current challenges.

Practical Reports from Agriculture and Region

The program focuses on, among other things, the irrigation pond project and water-saving irrigation methods. Practitioner reports on the irrigation of potatoes and hops will show how professional concepts can be implemented in agricultural work. Additionally, the Keep Water 4 Later project from the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen and the sponge regions of Aisch, Aurach, and Zenn are on the agenda.

Water Law, Environmental Compatibility, and Funding

Another key focus is on water law permits and the assessment of environmental compatibility. Potential funding programs will also be discussed. Thus, the event specifically targets pond keepers, farmers, and municipal decision-makers who wish to base their event planning and climate-adapted water management measures on a reliable professional foundation.

Event Experience with Professional Value

In the multifunctional room of the District Office, participants can expect a concentrated working atmosphere with lectures, experiential knowledge, and regional exchange. The audience experience thrives on direct conversation between administration, agriculture, and practice. The event management of the Erlangen-Höchstadt District Office creates a framework for knowledge transfer, networking, and concrete impulses for responsible water management.

Conclusion: Water PRESERVE highlights how regional collaboration, modern irrigation, and proactive water storage interact. Those engaged professionally or municipally with water resources, agriculture, and climate adaptation will experience an informative afternoon with practical perspectives. Participation requires registration by November 2, 2026.
