Water management offices

Water management authorities are technical agencies responsible for the protection, use, and sustainable management of groundwater, rivers, lakes, and hydraulic structures. They manage water bodies, advise municipalities, monitor water management issues, and contribute to flood protection, drinking water protection, wastewater disposal, and watercourse development. This sector is characterized by climate change, heavy rainfall, droughts, increasing demands on water quality, and digital measurement and forecasting systems. Water management authorities thus ensure a reliable water infrastructure, support preventative environmental protection, and make a significant contribution to public services.
