Abstract
Legislative bodies prescribe standards or target values for the design of environmental protection measures to achieve a certain level of quality, for example the water quality, or to preserve the water balance. As a basis for the definition of these quality levels overall environmental concepts are useful. These concepts describe an ideal situation, not a concrete target. However, they can be used to assess the actual situation. The overall environmental concepts have to be defined by the society as a whole not only by experts [1].
