Synopsis

Water has always been a problem in the world; either there is too much or there is too little. On the one hand, water is an indispensable elixir of life for people, fauna and flora, on top of that, from ancient times, an important, also highly competitive energy carrier, equally an element of everyday and religious culture as well as social representation. On the other hand, it periodically causes the greatest catastrophes, whereby you do not even have to remember the biblical flood, the recurring floods of the Rhine and Danube, but also of smaller rivers and seemingly harmless streams are already bad enough. There are also bad experiences in this regard in Kraichgau. Thus, the water demands a lot of creativity from people in the positive as well as in the negative to its sustainable use and to tame the dangers it poses. From a historical perspective, this book addresses timeless aspects of an exciting topic.
