Water Protection in Context of the Water Framework Directive

Public Participation in Forming a Management Plan for Water

Europe's Water is an Imminent Concern

Reaching good, healthy conditions in most German rivers will only be possible through various and extensive measures. To the level of necessity of these measures is clarified by a survey taken in 2005, which gives a tentative estimate: at most 60% of water bodies in Germany fail to meet good status. Deficits within the morphologic structures of water bodies and eutrophication are among the leading causes of poor water quality.

Key steps:

Improvement of the hydromorphology and restoration of habitats
Assurance of biological permeability
Natural development of floodplains
Reduction of nutrient inflow, especially from agriculture
Reduction of toxin inflow
