Yes. I talked about a significant increase of storage capacity for saline wastewater in the Werra area. And the 600,000 cubic meters I mentioned for the basin capacity we have in hand already, although it’s quite full. But we will have additional 400,000 cubic meters temporary storage capacities in an old mine in the Werra area. And that means that we, in total, have 1 million cubic meters. So assuming that we get these basins empty again, we have 1 million cubic meter, and that should be good for a very, very dry summer. So we are a little bit more relaxed for the future concerning the risk having penciled and the impacts you know. So when we come up with a guidance for 2019, we rather have now – not the assumption that we have further standstills but the transportation costs for water."

Not totally because there is some obligation for us to bring waters to the offshore mines like Bergmannssegen-Hugo and most probably next year as well, which are available for us in this extraordinary situation, and we cannot just not bring any waters into these mines if we don’t need it. So there will be some transportation costs. But of course, on a much lower level than we have seen in 2018."
- mögliche Lösung (Einlagerung in alte Minen an der Werra) für die Zukunft, d.h. ohne Pipeline
"The – we are currently negotiating with the authorities the solutions. The most probable outcome will be that we discharge our waters not only temporary but sustainably in the old mine areas at the Werra and that needs no transportation costs. That means it’s up to us how much we discharge daily. And currently, we have a daily limit of 5,000 cubic meters for the deep-well injection, and that is a problem. And once we do this discharge in the Werra – in the old mines, and we are talking about huge volumes, there’s possibility to run the mines until the end of the lifetime in the 60s and still discharge it there. Then we are almost totally independent from situations that we have been facing this year."
