DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE
The European Drinking Water Directive (DWD) concerns quality of water intended for human consumption.When translating the DWD into own national legislation, the EU Member States can include additional requirements, such as setting higher standards. However, Member States are not allowed to lower the standards as there should be the same level of human health protection across all the EU countries.
