ICPR – International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine

Management plan 2009

According to Article 13, Par. 3, of the Water Framework Directive, a coordinated management plan is to be drafted for the international river basin district Rhine.

The draft of the management plan 2009 (part A) is a result of international coordination in the Rhine river basin district.

Further background information is available on the websites of the IKSMS for the international Moselle-Saar district or of the IGKB for Lake Constance. Information on the management plans for areas of operation in the IRBD Rhine can be downloaded here. The national management plans are to be found here.
