In the detailed programme of measures, the types of measures related to hydromorphology (HY) and urban wastewater management (SWW) which are defined in the catalogue of measures of the third river basin management plan, were assigned to the individual water bodies. The objective of this assignation is to identify for each water body those measures that will help to reduce the pressures and deficits present in the water body, thereby improving its status or maintaining its good status.

The sectoral plan ‘landscapes’ aims at creating a framework for spatial planning in the context of the management, planing and protection of the landscapes. For this purpose, it defines protection zones for the large landscape units, the interurban green zone, the green belts as well as the protection zone of the ecological network. http://www.dat.public.lu/plans_caractere_reglementaire/plans_sectoriels/paysage/index.html

Noise map of all the major roads of more than 3 million vehicles per year located on the territory of the Grand-duchy of Luxemburg and all roads inside of agglomerations. This map is representative for the year 2011 and is using the noise index LDEN. This noise map has been elaborated in the context of the DIRECTIVE 2002/49/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, transposed into national law by the loi du 2 août 2006 modifiant la loi modifiée du 21 juin 1976 relative à la lutte contre le bruit and the règlement grand-ducal du 2 août 2006 portant application de la directive 2002/49/CE relative à l'évaluation et à la gestion du bruit dans l'environnement.
