Expert meeting, restoration of Lake Vesijärvi

Restoration of Lake Vesijärvi in Lahti is a success story. Thanks to the new technologies, one of the most polluted lakes in Finland has become the main recreational area of the City of Lahti. The European Environment Agency (EEA) has designated Lake Vesijärvi as a flagship example of successful lake restoration in Europe. According to EEA, the restoration organized by Lake Vesijärvi Foundation showcases four key pillars for successful lake restoration 1) a good scientific understanding of the causes of lake deterioration and effectiveness of restoration measures; 2) effective policy and governance for lake management, 3) public-private finance partnerships to sustain lake monitoring and management programmes over decades, 4) widespread local awareness of the social and economic benefits of restoration.
