Article 130. Establishing water protection zones of channels whose water is used for drinking, domestic, and therapeutic-health purposes

For the purpose of preventing an impact on the condition of the waters, water protection zones are established along channels whose water is used for drinking, domestic, and therapeutic-health purposes, and a coastal area is separated from them.

The width of the water protection zones of channels whose water is used for drinking, domestic, and therapeutic-health purposes is established taking into account geomorphological and hydrogeological conditions and the nature of land use in adjacent areas, and is taken from the normal water level line in the sizes provided for in Article 126 of this Code.

In the development of projects for establishing water protection zones of channels whose water is used for drinking, domestic, and therapeutic-health purposes, the upper limits of the width of the water protection zones may be specified, taking into account the full study of the actual conditions on the ground. In this case, a reduction in the lower limit of the width of the water protection zones is not allowed.
