Lake Hellsee Not Anymore ; 2018 vs 2021
Many lakes in Federal State of Brandenburg (around Berlin) are drying up. This collage depicts lake Hellsee located near the town of Strausberg. In 2018 (below) I was shocked by the drought at Hellsee near Strausberg, today (last WE picture above) you can't even see that there was a lake there. The drought and lowering of the groundwater level are extreme. There is still a remnant of the lake, to which I will give no more than 5 years. Unfortunately, this is also the case with many other lakes in Brandenburg that are fed by small rivers, groundwater and rain. Depressing.
Then Elon Musk comes to Grünheide near Berlin for his new Tesla Giga factory and babbles something about that there is water everywhere and it rains so much. The new Tesla Giga factory became known for the need of much ground water which is getting less and less. Additionally the factory was build in a water protection area. Even more drepressing reality.
