Das Ändern ist des Wassers Lohn. So lernt vom Wasser die Region

Kurt von Nida is heavily involved in the executive board of the NVS NaturStiftung Südpfalz with its Südpfalz-Biotope campaign and is driven in his Siedpalz-Wasser-Lesebuch by his many years of tenacious experience in the field of water management with severe interventions and completely inadequate countermeasures in the face of the challenges of climate change. In view of the irreparable conditions we have been creating for decades, which are leading to catastrophe (for humans!), his personal commitment, his rationality as well as his emotionality in this commitment to nature often end in frustrating powerlessness in the face of a short-sighted, even ignorant society that continues to hold out, supposedly secure in its comfort. Von Nida expresses very personal views on the environmental problem, broken down to the example of the Southern Palatinate and even more narrowly to the water balance there, but consistently weaves in the human coping with the frightening situation through orientation, understanding and emotional experience. He recognises the need right now to show the public many aspects of water and life.
