Oliver Walter Mar 30, 2011:
Just so In my explanation I hinted at what Bernd wrote. Both he and I have seen the original text. "verboten" and the "Sammelentwässerung" are applicable in different situations (different Schutzzonen).
Bernd Runge Mar 30, 2011:
Lesart 'Musterverordnung für Wasserschutzgebiete' Die Einrichtung oder Erweiterung von Bade- oder Zeltplätzen, oder Camping aller Art, ist in der weiteren Schutzzone (III) nur zulässig mit Abwasserentsorgung über eine dichte Sammelentwässerung unter Beachtung von Nr. 3.7, und ist in der engeren Schutzzone (II) verboten .

"...zulässig....verboten" The sentence as posted doesn't make sense. Would you care to double-check, please? Thanks.

site drainage system

It probably means that if there is camping on a site like this, the drainage must be provided by a leakproof system that collects the waste water from all the tents or caravans to ensure that no dirty water leaks out and contaminates the groundwater of the protected area. ("verboten" is not part of this sentence - it refers to a situation where "Camping aller Art" is not zulässig at all).

How to type German Umlauts in the write-in field for the German term or phrase of KudoZ questions

Take your pick from among the following options:

a) Simply copy-paste from the source text you're translating.

b) Go to http://www.dict.cc/ , click on the desired letter with Umlaut next to the search bar and it'll appear in the search field. Then, simply copy-paste.


c) Use the Character Map

d) Alternatively, use your Alt key and Number Pad.

Please note:

The 'Alt + number key' works only with the number keypad (with the Num Lock 'on') and NOT with the number keys on top of the keypad (due to different ASCII codes).

In a laptop use Alt + Fn+ number key from the virtual key pad formed on the right hand by the keys 7890, uiop, jkl;, m,./
