Hydrography in Lower Austria: honor for years of measuring service providers!

In Lower Austria, numerous personalities were honored for their many years of care for hydrographic measuring points, including Manfred Schenkermayer from Matzleinsdorf. These measuring points are crucial because they have been captured for decades about precipitation, air temperature and water levels in surface waters. The state of Lower Austria operates more than 900 of these stations, which are monitored by around 500 private individuals. According to Meinzirk.at emphasized the LH-STV. Stephan Pernkopf the essential role of this data for planning and protection against floods. In September 2024 in particular, the flood illustrated how important reliable measurements are to correctly assess flooding.

petrol station incident causes a sensation

An unconventional incident at an ENI petrol station in Neunkirchen recently excited nationwide interest. A reporter of oe24.at saw a man with the wrong side of his car. Instead of turning the vehicle, he reached for a creative approach: he handed him the pistol to the occupants and tried to recharge the windows. The amusing scenario was recorded on video, although it remains unclear whether he was actually successful or ultimately had to turn again.

These two stories illustrate in different ways how small and large challenges in everyday life meet creative or even desperate solutions. While the hydrographic measuring points are important for long -term water management, it becomes clear at the petrol station that not everyone deals efficiently with everyday challenges.
