Description:
The "INNOWA" project aimed at working towards the sustainable use of the Karjaanjoki river basin. The goal was a good ecological status of the surface waters, which includes rich aquatic biodiversity and good water quality. To achieve this a network of concerned actors was to be established and a large variety of tools were to be deployed. The project consisted of seven subprojects which were closely connected to each other: - Ecological restoration of running waters, to restore the river basin continuum. - Improving the functional value of lake Lohjanjärvi. - Master plan for Mustionjokilaakso. - Water pollution control methods in agriculture, in order to improve the use of fertilizers and to develop a self-monitoring procedure for farmers for environmental management. - Water pollution control methods in forestry. - Planning of sustainable recreational use of the Karjaanjoki river basin. - Development river basin monitoring systems, to correspond with the requirements set out in the EU Water Framework Directive.
