DE New guidelines for dealing with high groundwater levels
High groundwater levels - an underestimated danger: In recent decades, this issue has become increasingly recognised in many regions of Germany. In many cases, considerable damage was caused by waterlogging and/or buoyancy of buildings, as the structures were inadequately protected against pressing groundwater. This was mainly caused by weather-related influences, in particular flooding events, sealing of public and private sewer networks [...]
Vibration measurements in the construction industry
Vibrations cannot be completely avoided during any type of demolition and earthworks. Falling or rebounding demolition parts transmit vibrations via the ground to the foundations of neighbouring buildings. Vibrations can also be triggered during dynamic soil compaction work with heavy construction equipment and vehicles, for example in the case of deep foundations within less load-bearing soils. Vibrations are the result of [...]
Plant protection products in the environment
Plant protection products (PPPs) are chemical and biological products that are intended to protect plants from damage by animals or diseases such as fungal infestation. PPPs also include products that are used to control plants such as undesirable weeds. On average, around nine kilograms of PPPs are used per hectare of agricultural land each year. PPPs are therefore used like no other [...]

Sustainable procurement
Sustainable public procurement integrates social and environmental criteria into tenders for public contracts. Social and environmental criteria can be taken into account at various points in tenders for public contracts and in particular in multi-stage award procedures. For example, the specifications can contain minimum environmental requirements for the product or service, or corresponding suitability and/or award criteria can be defined [...].

What to do about water scarcity!
There are many reasons for the increasing water shortage 💦: Climatic effects such as drought and high temperatures 🌤 lead to precipitation shortfalls and evaporation of surface water. Anthropogenic effects such as a lack of continuity and straightening of watercourses as well as (illegal) water abstraction interfere with the natural water balance. This results in low water levels and a falling groundwater table. The demand for water is high. We need water [...]
Plastics in agricultural soils
The negative impact of plastic in aquatic ecosystems has been observed by scientists and the public for some time. From images of plastic swirls in the ocean to findings of microplastics in marine life. The discussion about the consequences for plants, animals and humans is omnipresent. But plastic can now also be found in our agricultural soils. [...]
