Groundwater
Alongside air and soil, groundwater is one of the most vital resources and must therefore be given special protection
Floods & heavy rain
Climate change is leading to an increase in heavy rainfall events, which can cause damage not only to bodies of water, but also to low points in the terrain where water collects.
EU Water Framework Directive
The Water Framework Directive aims to maintain or improve the status of water bodies throughout the European Union.
