Baden-Württemberg's heat crisis is escalating as temperatures reach 36°C. The region faces severe water shortages, with Lake Constance at record lows—285 cm versus a seasonal average of 412 cm. Farmers are losing crops while infrastructure is damaged under extreme conditions.
The economic fallout is significant: €980 million lost daily as roads buckle and businesses face disruption. Social tensions have also surfaced in public spaces.
The crisis reveals that infrastructure was built for a climate that no longer exists. This is a multi-sectoral crisis with no immediate end in sight.
