Water is an important location factor for companies, according to the Cottbus Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK). "The economy must be able to trust that the economic situation will not come under further pressure because water is becoming scarce," said IHK Managing Director André Fritsche ahead of the third Lusatia Water Conference. "The success of structural change depends on water management solutions. Lusatia will be dry by 2038 at the latest with the end of coal mining if we don't take countermeasures now."
