Securing the drinking water supply for the future<\/h3>\n

The municipality of Merenberg in Hesse is planning to build a deep well<\/strong> to secure its drinking water supply in the long term. This deep well is not only intended to compensate for the decreasing withdrawal volumes from the two existing sources (Untere Erlenhecke and Teufelsstruth), but also to ensure a reliable water supply in times of prolonged drought. <\/p>\n

In times of climate change, the resilience of the drinking water supply<\/strong> is becoming increasingly important. By constructing deep wells in Merenberg<\/strong>, the municipality wants to ensure that its residents have an adequate supply of drinking water even in changing weather conditions. <\/p>\n

Cooperation with the Lippe Environmental Office<\/h3>\n

IWR GmbH was commissioned with the planning of the deep well in 2023. A detailed hydrogeological analysis and an exploratory borehole are required before the actual construction. These measures are crucial in order to identify the optimal location for the deep well and lay the foundation for the success of the project. <\/p>\n

IWR GmbH worked closely with Umweltb\u00fcro Lippe from Detmold<\/a> to evaluate the hydrogeological map material. This cooperation enabled the municipality of Merenberg to receive expert advice on the selection of the well location. <\/p>\n

Progress and current status of the deep well project<\/h3>\n

After close coordination with the Giessen Regional Council, permission was granted to explore the well site. The exploration work for the Merenberg deep well construction began in early November 2024 and is currently in full swing. <\/p>\n

The ongoing investigations include, among other things:<\/p>\n
