Other types of use that require a permit are set out in Section 9 (2) of the Water Resources Management Act (WHG) and Section 14 of the Baden-Württemberg Water Act (WG).
No authorisation is required if the use is covered by public use.
However, these are only uses that are not very intensive and are usually traditionally permitted. These include, for example, bathing, travelling with small unpowered boats and watering animals.
Regulations on public use are specified in Sections 20 and 21 WG.
The lower water authority is generally responsible:
The regional councils as higher water authorities are responsible for utilisation in accordance with Section 82 (2) and (3) of the Baden-Württemberg Water Act.
A permit under water law is granted by the competent authority at its discretion (management discretion).
The law also stipulates when a licence cannot be granted.
This is the case if unavoidable, harmful changes to water bodies are to be expected or other requirements under public law are not met.
For example, a permit for the discharge of wastewater into bodies of water (direct discharge) requires, among other things, that the pollutant load of the wastewater is as low as possible according to the state of the art.
