How have the cultivated areas for different grains changed compared to the previous year, and what are the reasons behind these changes?

The healthy state of the crops is attributed to the mild winter temperatures which minimized winter damage. While the area used for winter wheat cultivation has increased by over 11 percent to 212,700 hectares, winter barley cultivation has decreased significantly from 90,000 hectares in 2024 to approximately 75,000 hectares in 2025.

What factors contribute to the current groundwater situation, and how do they interact?

The ongoing drought and high temperatures are causing decreasing groundwater levels. The infiltration process is expected to cease completely in the coming weeks, lasting until autumn. The extent of the depletion depends on summer rainfall; while not directly contributing to groundwater recharge, it indirectly conserves the resource.

What are the main causes of the current drought in Baden-Württemberg, and how are these factors interconnected?

The current crisis stems from a prolonged lack of substantial rainfall, exacerbated by increased temperatures and land use changes. Reduced infiltration due to higher temperatures and sealed surfaces, coupled with higher plant water consumption, has severely depleted groundwater reserves. This is further complicated by the fact that 70-75% of Baden-Württemberg's public drinking water comes from groundwater and springs.
