The European Water Framework Directive meant a significant change in the administration of many water catchment areas. That change also affected the administration of mine water discharges and in consequence the necessary measures of mine operators or regulatory authorities to manage those discharges. Due to the differences in the water and especially mine water legislation in the European countries the EU FW6 project ERMITE (Environmental Regulation of Mine Waters in the European Union) investigated those differences by addressing the many facets of Nations and disciplines involved.
