The Act partly amends Act No. 591 and Act No. 932 with regard to the scope of application and consultancy on water plan proposals.In Act No. 591, the insertion of a ban to land fertilization in a 10 meters' buffer zone from the width of surface waterbodies of more than 100 square meters in size (with exception of areas used for forestry, gardens, and dykes). Marginal zone areas in buffer zones will account for more than 5% of the total area at the time of this Act's entry into force. The Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries shall authorize a proportional reduction of the buffer zone's size in order to adapt to this criteria.In Act No. 932, water plans cannot be adopted before changes have been publicly notified for at least 8 weeks.

Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a major north European power, Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation that is participating in the general political and economic integration of Europe. It joined NATO in 1949 and the EEC (now the EU) in 1973. However, the country has opted out of certain elements of the EU's Maastricht Treaty, including the European Economic and Monetary Union, European defense cooperation, and issues concerning certain justice and home affairs.

Denmark is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy.
