German term

Wassergütewirtschaft

German to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Building / Construction
Wassergütewirtschaft und Abfallwirtschaft

From a list of subjects in a main examination for a certificate in 'Bauingenieurwesen' at the Technische Universtität München.

Is this possibly 'environmental management' or something more specific?
Proposed translations (English)

Water (quality) management

Someone just invented this - isn't that what they are always doing?
The normal expression is "Wasserwirtschaft", which covers evreything about water. This looks like a specialist aspect, just covering water quality, but I'm not convinced...

Google has 3 million-plus of the \"WM\", and 228,000 of the \"quality\" version...so I\'m convinced...

Try Google for "water quality management". :-)

Abfallwirtschaft = waste management
