Abstract：
Hydrogeological effects of climate change will continue to affect water reservoirs worldwide. Some regions are experiencing and will experience severe decline in their water resources due to prolonged periods of drought. Since emergency practices such as the provision of emergency drinking water and forest firefighting depend on regional surface and groundwater resources, the safety of the hydro geosphere\'s of a region is of fundamental importance, especially in times of crisis. The study uniquely addresses the integration of emergency water management within broader sustainable practices, particularly in the German context where such an analysis has not been previously consolidated. Using the example of emergency drinking water management, the paper elaborates the extent to which measures of emergency response are currently recognised as part of sustainable water management. In an analysis, 79 documents addressing emergency drinking water management of both water supply companies and crisis management authorities in Germany were analysed. The findings revealed a general lack of documents addressing the long-term dependencies between water resources and emergency measures currently applied. Furthermore, the documents do not elaborate on how to implement these measures in a sustainable way recognising the distinctive characteristics of a region. Since response measures can potentially intensify water stress in a region, emergency water management must be consequently included in a holistic water management process to protect landscapes and communities for the future. This paper provides a first comprehensive compilation of essential documents dealing with emergency drinking water management in Germany. It furthermore introduces a new approach to emergency water management and identifies necessary research that could serve as a baseline for future crisis decision making to strengthen national and international initiatives on water resource protection.
摘要：
气候变化的水文地质影响将继续影响全世界的水库。由于长期干旱，一些地区的水资源正在经历并将严重减少。由于提供应急饮用水和森林消防等应急措施取决于区域地表水和地下水资源，一个地区的水文地质圈的安全至关重要，尤其是在危机时期。该研究独特地解决了应急水管理在更广泛的可持续实践中的整合，特别是在德国的背景下，这种分析以前没有得到巩固。以应急饮用水管理为例，本文阐述了应急措施目前被视为可持续水资源管理的一部分的程度。在分析中,分析了79份文件，涉及德国供水公司和危机管理当局的紧急饮用水管理。调查结果表明，普遍缺乏解决水资源与目前采用的紧急措施之间长期依赖关系的文件。此外，这些文件没有详细说明如何以可持续的方式实施这些措施，以认识到一个地区的独特特征。由于应对措施可能会加剧一个地区的水资源压力，因此，必须将紧急水管理纳入整体水管理过程，以保护未来的景观和社区。本文首次全面汇编了有关德国紧急饮用水管理的基本文件。它还介绍了一种新的应急水管理方法，并确定了必要的研究，可以作为未来危机决策的基线，以加强国家和国际水资源保护倡议。
