Strategies for implementing the requirements of Article 11 (3) l of the Water Framework Directive aimed at preventing and minimising the consequences of unexpected water pollution arising from technical installations

Article 11 (3) l WFD requires measures in the fields of installation-related water conservation and accident precautions. On the basis of an inventory and analysis of the regulations and stipulations of the EU and UN ECE and the recommendations of the international river basin commissions (Danube, Rhine, Oder, Elbe), the report elaborates an action
strategy for implementing Article 11 (3) l of the Water Framework Directive. It also investigates cost-effectiveness criteria for measures to prevent pollutant releases from technical installations.
