#FotoVorschlag: Typisch für deine Stadt/Region // Typical for your city/region

Hmmm. Gar nicht so einfach. Ziemlich typisch für meine Heimatregion, also das Gebiet Mittlere Elbe zwischen Magdeburg und Dessau, sind die Auenlandschaften. Ob Elbe, Mulde oder Ehle, wir haben ausgedehnte Überflutungsflächen, die zwar bei der jetzt eher typischen Trockenheit nicht oft zum Einsatz kommen, aber Städte wie Magdeburg schon öfter vor Hochwasser gerettet haben. Unser #Umflutkanal in Biederitz stand z. B. zuletzt im Winter 2023/2024 unter Wasser, als das Pretziener Wehr gezogen wurde. Ansonsten sagen sich hier Fuchs und Reh gute Nacht – oder auch Biber und #Storch. Das erste Storchenpaar ist letzte Woche nach Biederitz zurückgekehrt!

Hmmm. This is quite a tricky one. I'd say the #floodplains are very typical of my region, the Middle Elbe, which lies between the cities of Magdeburg and Dessau. Along rivers like the Elbe, Mulde, and Ehle, we have vast water meadows that occasionally flood to protect cities such as Magdeburg. While it has been rather dry in recent years, these floodplains still play a crucial role. This one in #Biederitz, for example, was last flooded in the winter of 2023/2024 to shield Magdeburg and other towns from Elbe flooding. Most of the time though, these #meadows offer abundant wildlife, including foxes, roe deer, beavers, and #storks. The first breeding pair of white storks returned to Biederitz just last week!

Four [US] States Leading the Way on Flood Resilience

‘Dr John Packman, who is about to step down as chief executive of the #Broads Authority (BA), has warned #climatechange is “already biting” in the waterways and that swathes of land will have to be given up to be used as #floodplains to protect homes in the upper reaches from major flooding’

Flooding is a difficult conversation which will have to be had at a local, regional and national level.

Whoever takes on this BA role will sadly find themselves in a political mine field.
