| The Federal Environment Ministry | http://www.bmu.de/en/ | The Federal Environment Ministry is responsible for the environmental policy of the German government. The aim of policy is to create or maintain a healthy living environment. The ministry is primarily concerned with climate policy, conserving the diversity of fauna and flora, efficient use of resources and energy, as well as protecting people’s health from environmental pressures. Water protection policies in Germany focus primarily on maintaining or re-establishing the ecological balance of water bodies, on guaranteeing drinking and process water supplies and on providing long-term safeguards for all other water uses benefiting the general public. Current water protection policies are in particular aimed at preventing ground and surface water pollution with hazardous substances. |
