The Swedish project LIFE IP Rich Waters tackles some of the most serious environmental problems that affect the quality and vitality of the water bodies of the Northern Baltic Sea River Basin – eutrophication, barriers to fish migration and environmental pollutants. LIFE IP Rich Waters aims at developing new and better methods to combat these problems in a cost-effective way. The project is a partnership between authorities, municipalities, companies, researchers and water conservation associations – for the benefit of our common waters.
