 Ecologically intact, quantitatively sufficient water resources Priority for drinking water production over other forms of water use Preventive water protection Ban on the deterioration of water quality More extensive wastewater purification Contamination of water by substances from diffuse sources and as a consequence of technical breakdowns Calculation of wastewater immission charges according to the
