Bereitstellung vom Wasserbuch beantragen

Are you looking for a water right? Then you can start your search for water rights via the water directory by specifying the topic and administrative unit.

The water register is an official register similar to the land register. It records water rights and information on protected areas for water management purposes. It also provides environmental information and is important for the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive. The register provides an overview and evidence of decisions made by the authorities.

In particular, the following are recorded in a water register

• Permits and authorizations granted as well as old rights and old powers,
• Planning approval decisions and planning permits,
• Water protection areas,
• risk areas and designated flood plains.

Any person may inspect the water register. The water register is made available by the individual federal states.

The state of Rhineland-Palatinate provides a specialist application for this purpose, the digital water book (DigiWab).

The digital water book for "everyone" can be viewed without a user account.

• Appeal if necessary (depending on the federal state)
• Subsequent action for an obligation before the administrative court

• Water register Provision
• List of the main water rights, i.e. the legal water management relationships relating to bodies of water
• The water book also contains information on areas designated for water management, e.g. water protection areas, risk areas, flood areas
• The water book can be inspected by any person
• Responsible: lower water authority of the district or independent city

Responsibility lies with the Structure and Approval Directorate North and South.
