About RiverNet and ERN

 

 

In 2000, the European Parliament has adopted a text that put in place a coherent framework for protecting and improving water quality and resources across the EU. It fixes compulsory rules for member states.
The WFD requires ambitious improvements in water quality and introduces new powers to control emissions of dangerous substances to water.
