Lakes and Watercourses

The programme will help to provide an overall picture of water status and chemical-physical impact on lakes and watercourses. The findings should provide a basis for monitoring achievement of the Flourishing Lakes and Streams environmental objective and other objectives related to water quality. Another current aim is to support various public agencies in their work under the EC Water Framework Directive and on other international water quality commitments.

Stina Drakare, coordinator of the Lakes and watercourses programme in SLU´s Environmental monitoring and assessment ”Water management requires an overall view and the ability to appraise alternative courses of action. SLU can contribute by producing quality-assured data, analyses and scientifically tested tools. The uniquely long time series for lakes and watercourses administered by SLU enables us to distinguish natural variation from human influence, just as the Framework Directive requires.”
