Water resources are under severe pressures worldwide – in terms of both quantity and quality – due to climate change and human activities. This leads to major societal challenges such as prolonged droughts and water scarcity, depletion of resources, land subsidence, eutrophication and pollution of the surface water and groundwater with major consequences for nature, people and the economy.

A transition to more sustainable management and use of water resources is needed to secure quality and quantity of water resources for nature and future generations. We strive to achieve climate-resilient water systems that are ecologically and chemically healthy and managed sustainably so future generations will be able to use and enjoy them.
