Governor Josef Pühringer: "A water management respectful of the environment and the interests of society requires personal initiative and responsibility. The water cooperatives are key players in this field and have an important share in this task. In the framework of the water policy of Upper Austria, the association UPPER AUSTRIA WATER successfully fulfils its important and comprehensive mission. It thus ensures our autonomy, in other words: our Upper Austrian water identity." |
