To enhance the resilience of public water supplies to extreme weather events, TrinkXtrem developed software tools as well as methods and concepts. Five videos with animations present the project's work and findings in a striking, modern, and easily understandable way.

Germany is a water-rich country. Nevertheless, extreme meteorological events such as prolonged droughts pose challenges to public water supplies. Extreme events impact the entire water supply process chain. Due to the local nature of water supplies, the impacts of extreme events on individual water suppliers also vary. The TrinkXtrem research project aims to comprehensively examine the diverse effects of extreme events on public water supplies. As a result, operational strategies for public water supplies were developed to respond to extreme events in a scientifically sound and proactive manner. The project focused on the quality and quantity of raw water, the control of plant operations, forecasting drinking water demand, and dynamic pricing models. The development of risk and prevention concepts was also part of the project. The studies were primarily conducted at the project partners' large-scale water supply plants.

With the completion of the TrinkXtrem project, water suppliers now have access to new software solutions, methods, and concepts for managing extreme conditions. These solutions have already been successfully implemented in model areas of the project partners. The project's results are summarized in a set of practical recommendations, supplemented by a video series. This approximately 150-page set of recommendations is aimed at experts and describes the scientific and technical situation with regard to implementation at the model sites. To support the implementation at other locations, contact persons are listed for each specific topic. The five-part video series is designed for a broad audience seeking an initial overview of the background and practical solutions. Accordingly, the videos are written in simple and easily understandable language. Deep content is presented clearly using text, images, and graphics with the help of an animated presenter. The videos cover the following topics: quantity and quality, raw water management, water demand, risk management and precautionary concepts, as well as practical solutions. The recommendations, including an executive summary and flyer, can be downloaded from the project website, where the videos can also be accessed.
