Stock Photo - 14 June 2022, Saxony-Anhalt, Wittenberg: Three people are looking for the Elbe River, which flows very low due to a lack of water. The Heinz Sielmann Foundation is planning to open the dike here in close partnership with the Central Elbe Biosphere Reserve and farmers so that old Elbe floodplains can be supplied with water again. Human intervention over centuries in the form of dike construction and river regulation has gradually disconnected the Elbe from its floodplains. In addition, the river has dug deeper into its bed in recent years, making it even more difficult to supply the floodplains. Photo: Jan Woitas/dpa. - Wittenberg/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany
