Water
Introduction
Water is an essential resource to our lives and economic activities. Local and regional authorities play an important role in water management. Preserving the quality and quantity of water is a shared issue between the local, regional, national, European and international level.
European legislation, especially the framework directive on water, sets a relatively detailed framework for the protection and management of water and must be implemented in every Member State.
Focus group on water
Our focus group was created to participate in implementing a plan of action to save water resources in Europe, published by the European Commission in 2012.
