Abstract

Sustainable development is a core objective of the EU, whose Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) is based on the idea that water management needs to take account of economic, ecological, and social issues and that its prime objective is the sustainable use and management of water resources.

Sections 5.1, 5.2.4 and 5.3 were written by Giulia Romano, Sects. 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 were written by Martina Martini, while Sect. 5.4 was written by Francesco Fatone.
