When the heat wave rolls to us, the pools flop over. But if all landowners fill their swimming pools at the same time, the drinking water can dry out quickly. With 150,000 pools, a shortage of the liquid elixir of life must be feared – communities sound alarm.
With the first hot days, the run will certainly pick up speed on the swimming pools of Austria. But what many see as harmless summer pleasure now has tangible consequences for the water supply in the land of the swimming pool.
333 Full bathtubs for a basin
Municipalities, for example in southern Styria or elsewhere in Austria, increase the alarm: the drinking water is becoming scarce – an important reason for this is private baths. This can be explained logically (ECO): an average bass (eight by four meters long, one and a half meters deep) requires 50,000 liters of purest drinking water. This corresponds to approximately 333 full bathtubs or the annual consumption of a person!
Suddenly empty cranes
“If thousands of households fill their pelvis at the same time, leisure pleasure will become a huge infrastructure problem. Because our water pipes and memory are simply not designed for such a collective watertrush,” warns Eco-Veteran Helmut Belanyecz. In Gleinstätten (STMK.) For example, in some households no water suddenly flowed from the taps in some households. The raised tanks – usually well filled – were empty to almost the last drop. The local water supplier had to intervene, warned publicly.
Community in the limit
Alarm voting was already in the Upper Austrian Schiedlberg this year! The community with around 1,300 inhabitants had suddenly reached its limits – just because many wanted the same thing at the same time: filling the swimming pool. The figures speak for themselves. In Styria alone there are an estimated 50,000 private cooling facilities – the trend is increasing. Every individual of these Polish can bring the local delivery network to the edge of the collapse if it is filled without coordination and coordination.
Digital reservation systems
The reserves fill different landowners in smaller places in smaller places and cannot flow fast enough – the network tilts. Some municipalities try to combat digital reservation systems. Polish owners must register online, so that the water is not uncontrolled and at the same time removed. A calendar arranges who is there when and when there is an upper limit for the daily amount.
“Especially in times of heat and drought, I appeal to all citizens to coordinate with the water suppliers or the community before they fill their Polish,” said Water Minister Norbert Tettschnig.
Natural Polish in Trend
By the way, if you choose a private swimming pool, you often use nature baths more and more. For example, the purest natural pools are made in the Carintic Mölltal. What sounds like romantic craftsmanship is in truth, a well -considered interplay of technology, ecology and deep respect for nature.
