The proposal also seeks to remedy shortcomings identified in the current framework as regards chemical pollution in waters, ...

The impact assessment is informed by the findings of the European Commission's fitness check of the water directives, in line with the Better Regulation Guidelines' 'evaluate first' principle. The IA's strong points include a dynamic baseline that takes into account the likely changes to emissions, the current and proposed legislation, and external factors.

Ochrana vodních zdrojů a vodní hospodářství

Fakta a čísla o EU 01-11-2017

Vodu ke svému životu nezbytně potřebují lidé, zvířata i rostliny a je rovněž nepostradatelným zdrojem pro hospodářství. Ochrana vody a hospodaření s vodou překračují státní hranice. Právní předpisy EU v oblasti vodohospodářské politiky se podstatně změnily v roce 2000 přijetím rámcové směrnice o vodě, která vytvořila celkový rámec pro hospodaření s povrchovou a podzemní vodou a pro její ochranu na základě jednotlivých povodí. Tuto rámcovou směrnici doplňují mezinárodní dohody a právní předpisy týkající ...

Freshwater ecosystems are particularly rich in biodiversity and fulfil important ecosystem services. However, the continuing presence of pollutants still raises concerns for public health, as well as for nature conservation. Surface water bodies and groundwater alike are threatened by synthetic and also naturally occurring substances that can have a negative impact on the aquatic environment and on human health. Increased temperature and over-abstraction of water are further causes for concern. Meanwhile ...

The human right to water has been firmly established and its implications for policy-making have been discussed in many fields. Thus far, this has hardly been the case for conflicts over water. This study discusses what it means to integrate human rights in the context of governing water and addressing conflicts over water. A human rights perspective on conflicts over water will help formulating equitable water governance strategies. To support such developments, the EU should integrate human rights ...
