The regional health agency of the region in which the river basin committee mentioned in article L. 213-7 of the French Environment Code has its head office is responsible for coordinating and harmonising public health policy in the field of water at river basin level.
It collects, uses and disseminates information on the state of water in the river basin held by the regional health agencies with jurisdiction in the area as part of the health checks they carry out in application of the provisions of the Public Health Code, particularly those relating to water intended for human consumption and bathing water.
