The plan addresses climate change challenges with over 100 measures to safeguard water resources.

Rhineland-Palatinate's Environment Minister Katrin Eder warns of extreme weather due to climate change, affecting water supply.
Model projections indicate a potential increase in high-water flows by over 40% by 2100, alongside a decrease in low-water flows by up to 60%.
The comprehensive 'Zukunftsplan Wasser' was developed with key stakeholders in water management and users across the state.
The plan includes 124 measures aimed at protecting groundwater and drinking water as climate impacts intensify.
Integrated into the state's coalition agreement, the plan emphasizes the need for immediate, concrete action to mitigate climate effects.
