Lakes and Watercourses programme

The programme for environmental monitoring and assessment Lakes and Watercourses at SLU provides data and expertise to further Sweden's environmental objective of Flourishing Lakes and Streams, as well as other objectives related to water quality. We also support various public agencies in their work under the EC Water Framework Directive and on Sweden's other international water quality commitments.
