Rechtliche Anforderungen an eine nachhaltige Trinkwasserversorgung

Securing a sustainable nationwide drinking water supply in Germany is being put to the test due to challenges that have already changed and are still changing, above all climate change. The quality and quantity of drinking water are increasingly at risk, which is already triggering conflicts of use. The author examines the changes and challenges jeopardizing the drinking water supply and places them in the legal system. The deficits resulting from the resolution of conflicts of use on the basis of the existing legal situation are worked out and a framework for action to adapt the law to the changed circumstances, including a specific standard proposal, is presented.
