Water collection, treatment and supply
What this code covers
Use this class for water collection, treatment and supply when the main activity includes Abstraction of water from rivers, lakes and groundwater and Treatment of water for the water supply. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- abstraction of water from rivers, lakes and groundwater

Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
