Theme Group Water Management
In the committee, we work with research, field trials, and collaboration in the areas of water quality and water management. Knowledge in these fields is essential for developing sustainable cropping systems in a changing climate.
If you would like to participate in the water management theme group meetings, you are most welcome to contact the chairperson and/or the secretary:
- Chairperson: Helena Aronsson, SLU
- Subject expert: Ingrid Wesström, SLU

Read about SLU’s specially drained field trials (Specialdränerade försök, in Swedish) [Länk saknas men återställs inom kort] These trials represent a range of climate and soil type combinations and form the basis of much of today’s knowledge about how farming practices affect nutrient losses. They are used to study how nutrient and pesticide leaching is influenced by crops and cultivation methods.
