Unsere Seen schrumpfen

<em><strong>Our lakes are shrinking:</strong></em> Lakes are climate sentinels, and the significant water decline in over half of the world's large lakes is an alarming sign of climate change and limited freshwater resources. Not all shrinking lakes are equally affected. Shallow lakes with large surfaces and low water volumes, often exposed to strong winds and heat, are particularly vulnerable. The shallow Neusiedler See in Austria, a unique soda and steppe lake, risks drying up completely without local efficient water use and adapted landscape management.
