Amenzi de 5.000 de euro pentru cei care își udă gazonul, într-o localitate din Germania: "Nu mai e suficient să facem apel la oameni"

In Weilrod, Germany, severe drought has led to strict water conservation measures, including fines for excessive water use. Residents face penalties up to €5,000 for watering lawns or filling pools. The municipality, equipped with a digital water monitoring system, can track individual household consumption. Mayor Götz Esser emphasized the need for these measures to protect drinking water and prevent fire hazards. Similar situations are occurring in nearby Schmitten, where residents have also reported violations of water usage restrictions.
