Verordnung des Bundesministers für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Umwelt und Wasserwirtschaft über die Festlegung des Zielzustandes für Oberflächengewässer (Qualitätszielverordnung Chemie Oberflächengewässer – QZV Chemie OG)

This regulation sets the target state for surface waters, specifically focusing on chemical quality objectives. It aims to ensure that rivers, lakes, and other surface water bodies meet certain chemical standards to protect aquatic ecosystems and human health. This affects water management authorities, industries discharging into water bodies, and potentially citizens who use or are impacted by water quality. It establishes benchmarks for monitoring and improving water quality across Austria.
