– Water environments fulfill many functions and have great value from a sustainability perspective. Above all, they function as natural purification plants, leveling reservoirs and habitats for endangered species, says Mathias Ibbe, water ecologist at the county board, in a statement.
Pjältån in Norrköping municipality must regain its natural waterway and the wetland at Skrivaremoån in Ydre municipality must be rewetted. The county board will also give grants to the county’s municipalities for their work for better water environments.
