| Pre.7 | Conscious also that surveillance of water-related disease and the establishment of early-warning systems and response systems are important aspects of the prevention, control and reduction of water-related disease, |
| Art.4.2.a | (a) Adequate supplies of wholesome drinking water which is free from any micro-organisms, parasites and substances which, owing to their numbers or concentration, constitute a potential danger to human health. This shall include the protection of water resources which are used as sources of drinking water, treatment of water and the establishment, improvement and maintenance of collective systems; |
| Art.4.2.b | (b) Adequate sanitation of a standard which sufficiently protects human health and the environment. This shall in particular be done through the establishment, improvement and maintenance of collective systems; |
| Art.4.2.e | (e) Effective systems for monitoring situations likely to result in outbreaks or incidents of water-related disease and for responding to such outbreaks and incidents and to the risk of them. |
| Art.4.4 | 4. The Parties shall base all such measures upon an assessment of any proposed measure in respect of all its implications, including the benefits, disadvantages and costs, for: |
| Art.4.4.a | (a) Human health; |

| Art.4.4.c | (c) Sustainable development, which takes account of the differing new impacts of any proposed measure on the different environmental mediums. |
| Art.6.2 | 2. For these purposes, the Parties shall each establish and publish national and/ or local targets for the standards and levels of performance that need to be achieved or maintained for a high level of protection against water-related disease. These targets shall be periodically revised. In doing all this, they shall make appropriate practical and/ or other provisions for public participation, within a transparent and fair framework, and shall ensure that due account is taken of the outcome of the public participation. Except where national or local circumstances make them irrelevant for preventing, controlling and reducing water-related disease, the targets shall cover, inter alia: |
| Art.6.2.a | (a) The quality of the drinking water supplied, taking into account the Guidelines for drinking-water quality of the World Health Organization; |

| Art.6.2.e | (e) The levels of performance to be achieved by such collective systems and by such other means of water supply and sanitation respectively; |
| Art.6.2.f | (f) The application of recognized good practice to the management of water supply and sanitation, including the protection of waters used as sources for drinking water; |

| Art.6.2.h | (h) The quality of discharges of waste water from waste-water treatment installations to waters within the scope of this Protocol; |
| Art.6.2.i | (i) The disposal or reuse of sewage sludge from collective systems of sanitation or other sanitation installations and the quality of waste water used for irrigation purposes, taking into account the Guidelines for the safe use of waste water and excreta in agriculture and aquaculture of the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme; |
| Art.6.2.j | (j) The quality of waters which are used as sources for drinking water, which are generally used for bathing or which are used for aquaculture or for the production or harvesting of shellfish; |
| Art.6.2.k | (k) The application of recognized good practice to the management of enclosed waters generally available for bathing; |
| Art.6.2.l | (l) The identification and remediation of particularly contaminated sites which adversely affect waters within the scope of this Protocol or are likely to do so and which thus threaten to give rise to water-related disease; |
| Art.6.2.m | (m) The effectiveness of systems for the management, development, protection and use of water resources, including the application of recognized good practice to the control of pollution from sources of all kinds; |
| Art.6.2.n | (n) The frequency of the publication of information on the quality of the drinking water supplied and of other waters relevant to the targets in this paragraph in the intervals between the publication of information under article 7, paragraph 2. |
| Art.6.3 | 3. Within two years of becoming a Party, each Party shall establish and publish targets referred to in paragraph 2 of this article, and target dates for achieving them. |
| Art.6.4 | 4. Where a long process of implementation is foreseen for the achievement of a target, intermediate or phased targets shall be set. |
| Art.6.5.b | (b) Develop water-management plans in transboundary, national and/ or local contexts, preferably on the basis of catchment areas or groundwater aquifers. In doing so, they shall make appropriate practical and/ or other provisions for public participation, within a transparent and fair framework, and shall ensure that due account is taken of the outcome of the public participation. Such plans may be incorporated in other relevant plans, programmes or documents which are being drawn up for other purposes, provided that they enable the public to see clearly the proposals for achieving the targets referred to in this article and the respective target dates; |
| Art.6.5.c | (c) Establish and maintain a legal and institutional framework for monitoring and enforcing standards for the quality of drinking water; |
