Financing

Doing the right thing in a practical manner, i.e. acting with efficiency, is often taken for granted. The assessment of whether you actually fulfil this condition is not just a question for your supervisory body, but also increasingly for authorities for the supervision of fees which often have less experience with water management. Efficient operational management here also has to be verified and this is difficult for many companies to do.
