Some elements of the financial law environment of water

Abstract

The present article concentrates on the potential links between financial law, water management and water protection in a wider sense. The special focus of the paper is the ownership and property issues of waters. Taking these issues into consideration the author presents that the regulation of water ownership belongs to several aspects of financial law, such as the issue of the ownership of water into national assets-state and municipal property, water regulation, financial issues of water management, rules of water utilization, or it is precisely the regulation of water use charges, whether in the form of fines (groundwater fines, sewage penalties) or contributions (water supply charges). The author draws the attention to the need of regulation-simplification and more integrated solutions in connection with the topic.

Water and Law – a summary of the results of a natural resource law research

“…4 In a wider sense, the international legal research by György Marinkás 5 and the European law research pursued by János Ede Szilágyi 6 might be considered comparative analysis as well. The historical method is presented by Anna Petrasovszky's nature law, 7 Ibolya Koncz's Hungarian legal history 8 and Pál Sáry's Roman law. 9 There are numerous areas of law within the legal science connected to water issues.…”
