An important point of attention this year is the expected increase in lithium in the Rhine due to the growing battery industry. RIWA-Rijn stresses the importance of careful licensing and enforcement to prevent pollution.
Lastly, this year the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine (ICPR) celebrated its 75th anniversary. A milestone that shows what cooperation can achieve. But as this annual report also shows: vigilance remains necessary. The Rhine deserves our constant attention – not only to preserve what is going well, but especially to improve what could be even better.
