The focal point of this directive, in which water is considered as a whole, a total flow, with no distinction between surface and groundwater, which is the mistake that was made for a long time, is the right focal point and implies a step forward.
L’optique de cette directive, qui envisage l’eau comme un tout, un flux total, sans faire de distinction entre les eaux de surface et souterraines, erreur que l'on a longtemps commise, est l’optique adéquate à adopter et suppose un pas en avant.
