%X Many issues faced, with the governance of the WFD in Germany, can be connected to three issues. First, on the cooperation between the WFD and other policy domains. Second, to the multi-scalar structure of the German government, responsible for the implementation of the WFD. And third, the role of river basin district authorities in the management of river basin districts. First, results of this research showed, that the two major issues in the implementation of the WFD in Germany in the field of policy domains can be related to poor connections between the water sector and the agricultural sector, and to issues with land-use planning. Second, issues in the field of administrative scale levels could be connected to difficulties with willing- ness and financing. Third, when regarding the integration of RBD Authorities into the governance of river basin districts, the primary concern is to find uniform approaches on a basin-wide scale.
