Water protection areas-DE-2015

The data set contains the “Drinking Water Conservation Areas” and “Heilquellen Protected Areas” as surface-shaped objects for the Federal Republic of Germany as at 31.12.2015. The Bundesanstalt für Wasserkunde (BfG), on behalf of the water management authorities in Germany, manages the data of the reporting on various water-related EC environmental directives in the national water reporting portal (WasserBLIcK). On the basis of this data basis, the BfG provides selected map and data services in coordination with the Länder Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wasser (LAWA). The services provided here are based on nationally homogenised data sets. Other administrative levels in Germany (country, district, district, municipality) may provide services on this subject in a higher spatial and temporal resolution.
