Measures for Better Water Quality in Stockholm
Measures for Better Water Quality in Stockholm
Measures for better water quality
- the past and future challenges
• The first ”water management programme” was adopted in 1973. Hard
work and successful collaboration lead to great improvements.
• Treatment of wastewater and stormwater have improved and lake
restoration has been carried out, but there is still much to do.
• The concentrations of phosphorous has declined in all lakes compared
to the 1990:s.
• The action plan for good water status and the local programmes of measures creates a basis for reaching
the environmental goals at the same time
that the city is expanding.

Sponge City
This is an idea that aims to solve the problem of storm water in stockholm.
The idea is inspired by creating a city that is deliberately designed to imitate nature.
A high amount of rain water is absorbed where it falls during the rains and this reduces the amount of floods/stormwater which makes it easier for the city to filter the litter in the stormwater.
Water is a resource and we should not watch it just flow away into the lakes or sea, this is because it will evaporate during summer and provide humidity,
More vegetation in the city means that the city has more clean air and also acts as windbreakers.
