European Water Framework Directive

The European Water Framework Directive is a law that aims to protect and improve all water bodies like rivers, lakes, and groundwater across Europe. It sets goals to achieve “good” quality water by controlling pollution and managing water resources sustainably. The directive encourages countries to work together, using scientific data to monitor water health, prevent contamination, and restore ecosystems. Its aim is to ensure clean, safe, and sustainable water for people, wildlife, and the environment now and in the future, fostering cooperation and responsible use among European nations.
