Boat Tour of Lake Mälaren – Water Supply for 2 Million People

Saturday, 23 August, 09:00 – 16:00

Lake Mälaren, Sweden’s third largest lake, provides more than aesthetic beauty and recreational activities for thousands of Stockholmers: it is also the main source for drinking water for the Stockholm region and other cities in the vicinity. Like many lakes around the world, it receives wastewater effluents and serves as an important transportation link. Join your World Water Week colleagues for a day-long boat tour which will highlight the lake’s natural and cultural values, present how it is managed, describe what conflicts of interest have been present, and more. The tour includes a short walk from the boat to Norsborg’s water treatment plant.

Price: 550 SEK (lunch included)
Hosted by: Competent Authorithy for the North Baltic River Basin District County Administrative Board of Västmanland
