What kind of water in 2015 ?

Overall, our proposal leads to 20% improvement in the good status of water in our region's rivers between now and 2015. Good condition will be reached in full by 2027.
For groundwater, progress is slower. We propose an objective of regaining water quality which is more spread out over time.
The efforts of various parties (communities, public authorities, economic interests, agricultural interests, households) have, over the course of two decades, allowed half of water quality to be regained in the rivers of the Rhine-Meuse basin, that must be seen as a significant effort, considering the strong industrialisation and urbanisation of our basin.
We propose reaching together a new key stage in winning back our water, by setting a target of two thirds of rivers by 2015.

At what cost ?

Investments over six years in the Rhine-Meuse basin amount to around 2 billion euros and are estimated at around 4.4 billion by 2027
Expenditure will be funded from taxes and private investments. The main impact on households will be seen in the water bill. The average price of water in the Rhine-Meuse basin may gradually rise to reach 3.22 euros per m3 by 2015. The average increase in the price of water could be around 2 to 3 % per year.
