Calculating and setting water withdrawal charges

Read aloud

In Germany, a water abstraction charge can be levied for the abstraction and discharge of water from surface waters, as well as for the abstraction, extraction, underground conduction and discharge of groundwater. The individual federal states decide whether and to what extent a water abstraction charge is levied.

Who should I contact?

  • As a rule, the lower water authorities are responsible for levying the water abstraction charge: districts, independent and large independent cities, Hannover region
  • In certain cases the Lower Saxony State Agency for Water Management, Coastal Defence and Nature Conservation (NLWKN) is responsible for levying the water abstraction charge
