Water law
Service Description
Water law comprises the federal and state standards that relate to the order and management of surface waters and groundwater. In principle, water bodies can only be managed with official permission. There is no entitlement to such a permit.
Water law regulates, among other things, the requirements for structures in, under or above surface waters and for wastewater treatment plants. It regulates prohibitions and restrictions in watercourse margins, flood plains and water protection areas, as well as notification requirements for boreholes affecting groundwater. It also determines the content and scope of the obligation to maintain water bodies.
Who should I contact?
The responsibilities of the water authorities are regulated in Section 105 of the Thuringian Water Act (ThürWG).
In principle, the districts and independent cities are the competent lower water authorities. For certain matters, e.g. concerning the 1st order water bodies or the dams, the state administration office is responsible as the upper water authority.
The lower water authorities will be pleased to advise you.
Which documents are required?
If an intended project requires a permit, authorization, approval or plan approval, or if it has to be reported to the authorities, all documents required for assessment must be submitted, including plans, expert reports and descriptions.
The responsible water authorities will advise you on this.
