Wijziging van de Waterwet (normstelling voor de waterkwaliteit)

This is a Dutch national bill, submitted to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer), that amends the Water Act (Waterwet). The title refers to setting norms for water quality, meaning the legal limits and targets that define acceptable levels of pollutants and other conditions in surface and groundwater. Such norms determine how the authorities must monitor and protect water bodies. The change would mainly affect national and regional water authorities, which set and enforce water quality rules, as well as businesses and households whose activities discharge into water. Specific obligations and thresholds depend on the full text of the bill, which is not reflected in this summary.
