Schutz und Management von Grundwasser aus der Sicht des Völkerrechts

Rüdiger Wolfrum


The present contribution deals with the evolution of public international concerning the protection and management of groundwater. Although the contribution criticizes that the existing international rules as well as the newly developed ones only deal with transboundary aquifers and neglect that the interest of the international community in safeguarding such aquifers is not sufficiently taken care of it acknowledges that certain environmental standards have been set. These standards which root in the principle of sustainable development have a significant bearing on all management activities concerning aquifers.

Prof. (em.) Dr. Dr. h.c. Rüdiger Wolfrum war bis 2012 Direktor des Max-Planck-Instituts für ausländisches öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht (Heidelberg) und ist seit 2013 Geschäftsführer der Max-Planck-Stiftung für Internationalen Frieden und Rechtsstaatlichkeit (Heidelberg).
