What this layer shows

Hesse's drinking water and medicinal spring protection areas under §§ 51 and 53 WHG in one layer, with protection zone, date of ordinance and the responsible district. The zone is what decides: from zone III to zone I the prohibitions get markedly stricter at each step.

Water and flooding

The water-law side of a site: drinking-water and medicinal-spring protection areas with their zones, designated flood plains and flood hazard maps, Saxony’s flood-generation areas, and bathing waters. Flood plains designated under § 76 WHG are subject to the construction safeguards in § 78 WHG, including statutory exceptions and possible approvals by the competent authority. The map does not replace the authority’s assessment of a specific proposal.
