A look at water policy

The relevance of such protection zones is underlined by EU water policy. Water is not only vital for humans, but also for animals and plants.

The environmental representative has announced that it will work out new proposals in July and present them to the town hall. The commitment to the environment and the recreational opportunities at Emmeringer See will continue to be of central importance. A balanced cooperation between nature conservation and leisure activities must be striving for so that everyone involved gets their money's worth.
