The water shortage in the high mountains becomes a constant topic that not only reveals mountain lovers, but also scientists and environmentalists. The new Prague hut at the Großvenediger will be located in the summer of 2025 of an innovative pilot project, which was launched by the Innsbruck company GMD in cooperation with the German Alpine Club. Artificial intelligence plays a key role to better master the challenges of the water shortage. Radio Oberland reports that a newly installed sensor system permanently monitors the available water and analyzes this data in real time.

But what does that mean for the approximately 10,000 visitors who head for the hut annually? The solution could be to adapt the number of visitors to the current water situation. This clever procedure is intended to help avoid bottlenecks and to ensure sustainable coexistence between people and nature. If the measures prove to be successful, the system could even be extended to other mountain huts in the Oberland.

The importance of mountains for water supply

Life is

recommendations for sustainable water management

  • build robust water supply systems for disaster prevention.
  • decentralized, natural -based solutions to stabilize the water supply.
  • promote international cooperation for sustainable water management.
  • expand observation infrastructure in high mountains to create access to important data.

The coming World Water Day on March 22nd will take up all of these aspects and draw attention to the UN targets for sustainable development. The year 2025 was also declared an international year of glacier protection, which is dedicated to the preservation of these important water sources.

It is clear: there is something! The balance between man and nature is fragile and requires responsibility. The new initiatives at the new Prague hut are a promising step in the right direction. Let us be aware of what we can do to secure our water resources in the long term!
