Original Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe and compare individual laws concerning wastewater discharges and their monitored indicators. Relevant laws and government regulations have been in existence since 1953, when the Central Administration of Water Management was established, with the latest regulation being Government Decree No. 401/2015 Sb. This article deals with the development of legislation, its amendments and improvements. This results in a gradual adjustment of the monitored indicators and decreasing indicator values in connection with improving treatment processes and technologies. This is also related to the Czech Republic's accession to the EU and the adoption of Council Directive 91/271/EEC, which emphasises, inter alia, environmental protection.
