The fundamental significance of water makes knowledge regarding water and regulations pertaining to water important in several areas of society. Water is important for people, companies, and administrative authorities. Understanding water and its regulation is important for dealing with current and future challenges in terms of societal development and climate change in the best possible way, and has implications for political objectives related to employment, business, nature conservation, social security, climate risk, biological diversity and more. It is also important viz a viz political challenges relating to societal development, including population growth, densification, housing construction, urbanization, urban development, towns and districts, business development, energy supply, and social security. Additionally, knowledge about water is important for future political maneuvering room, partly because the costs of securing water services and preventing water damage are high. Appropriate distribution of the financial costs associated with ensuring a secure water supply and water management should be a relevant question.

In addition, the chapter discusses significant regulations regarding water and the division of responsibilities, tasks, and authority between different levels of administrative authorities.
