Water law

Service Description

Water law comprises the federal and state standards relating to the regulation 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.

Among other things, water law regulates the requirements for structures in, under or above surface waters and for wastewater treatment plants. It regulates prohibitions and restrictions in watercourse edge strips, floodplains and water protection areas as well as notification requirements for boreholes with an impact on 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 responsible lower water authorities. For certain matters, e.g. concerning water bodies of the first order or dams, the State Administration Office is responsible as the upper water authority.

The lower water authorities will be happy to advise you.

Which documents are required?

If an intended project requires a permit, authorization, approval or planning approval or if it must be reported to the authority, all documents required for the assessment must be submitted, including plans, expert opinions and descriptions.

The responsible water authorities will advise you on this.
