VSR Water Protection offers analyses on the Kerweplatz on 24 September
The mobile laboratory of the VSR Water Protection Association stop at the Pestalozzistraße fairgrounds in Riedstadt-Goddelau on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. Well owners can submit their water samples from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Already 164 analyses in Groß-Gerau have shown that one in four samples is only partially suitable for garden irrigation. To ensure Riedstadt residents can also be certain about the quality of their water, Milan Toups conducts basic on-site tests for nitrate, acidity, and salt levels. The participation fee is twelve euros. Additional tests—for example, to determine suitability for vegetable gardens, paddling pools, or ponds—are available for an additional charge.
For meaningful results, the VSR Water Protection recommends bringing samples in 0.5-liter plastic mineral water bottles filled to the brim . The reports will then be mailed to participants.
Focus on sustainable water management
At the information booth, volunteer Georg Stüker the importance of allowing rainwater to seep into the garden to replenish groundwater reservoirs. The results of previous surveys in the Groß-Gerau district will also be presented. An interactive nitrate map for Hesse is also available online at vsr-gewaesserschutz.de/regionales/hessen
