The Free State of Saxony has a stock of dams that has grown historically and was built for different purposes. For the future, one of the main challenges for Saxony's water management is climate change, the effects of which are clearly felt by the State Reservoir Administration of Saxony. The adaptation of the reservoir management is the obvious climate adaptation strategy. By making management more flexible, existing facilities can be better utilized. Where this is not sufficient, the capacity must be increased by structural adjustments. The expansion or construction of new dams is only one possibility; the focus is rather on further networking and an expansion of the water supply of the dams as well as adapted management.
