WMS bathing waters

Web Map Service (WMS) with the bathing waters in Hamburg for display on an interactive map: http://www.hamburg.de/badegewaesser/ Organisational framework conditions: The EC Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC of 15 February 2006) lays down requirements for monitoring and classification of bathing water quality, management of bathing water quality and information to the public on bathing water quality. On 26 February 2008, the City of Hamburg adopted the “Regulation on the Quality and Management of Bathing Waters” to implement this EC Directive. This Regulation lays down in particular the quality criteria and limit values which are regularly monitored during the bathing season. The test results of bathing water are subject to reporting to the European Commission and are requested from there every year. The results of all bathing waters identified in the EU are published on the website of the European Environment Agency (EEA). The monitoring results of bathing waters designated in Hamburg are continuously published on the Internet during the bathing season.
