Guidance on Drinking Water Directive (DWD) published

We have published new guidance documents that describe good practice and provide technical and scientific advice for duty holders to comply with their obligations under the Drinking Water Directive. The guidance supports the implementation of the European positive lists under the DWD.


For more information about our guidance and how to submit applications, have a look at the recording and all presentations of our recent webinar: Looking towards the future of drinking water applications.
