Since 1990 the Hamburg Senate has established six water protection areas with a total area of ​​97 km². The water protection areas thus take up around 13 percent of the national territory. The designation of a protected area for a seventh water protection area is in preparation: the drinking water extraction area of ​​the south well group of the Stellingen waterworks.

In 2000, the WSG Langenhorn / Glashütte was designated as the first and so far only transnational water protection area located in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein .
