Wat is een watervergunning?

De Waterwet stelt eisen aan activiteiten in het watersysteem. Voor veel activiteiten kunt u volstaan met het indienen van een melding en het volgen van algemene regels uit de keur. Er zijn ook activiteiten waarvoor een melding niet voldoende is, maar een vergunning moet worden aangevraagd. De watervergunning is een gebundelde vergunning voor het verrichten van activiteiten in oppervlaktewater of met grondwater. Voorbeelden van activiteiten waarvoor u een watervergunning moet aanvragen:

direct lozen van afvalwater op oppervlaktewateren
grondwater onttrekken
activiteiten bij een waterstaatswerk (bijvoorbeeld snelweg, viaduct, tunnel, brug, vaarweg, dijk)
aanleg waterberging
dempen van water
een combinatie van de eerder genoemde activiteiten.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
