DBVW – AN ASSOCIATION FOR WATER
As an umbrella organisation operating throughout Germany,
we bring together regional water management associations to represent,
safeguard and sustain common interests and competencies at national and European level.
The associations we represent are responsible for the maintenance of water bodies, the preservation of coastal banks and inland flood protection. Their work also includes upgrading, in particular the rehabilitation of water bodies, landscape management and the regulation of the soil water budget depending on the respective use (irrigation and drainage). A core element is also the associations’ drinking water supply and wastewater disposal.
DBVW e.V. is the only organisation that unites all areas of the water sector and therefore has extensive experience in the area of integrative water management. Through conferences, pilot projects and research projects, we promote a lively dialogue between our members and support them in carrying out their wide range of tasks.
