Fresh water

Many cities in the region are located on the coastline of the Baltic, but even more are closely connected to the sea and its inland water bodies. Due to alarming state of the Baltic Sea, improved water management, restoration and monitoring of rivers and lakes has become an important goal for the countries in the region. UBC cities have taken the leadership in protection of the regional waters and the Baltic Sea. In the Hub's section on fresh water we will share important findings and practices related to this field.
