Water protection in municipalities – it costs money, because it saves money

“Water protection in municipalities – it costs money, because it saves money” is organised by CITYWATER project in connection to the Estonian Municipality Days. It is an international Baltic Sea Challenge networking event focusing on water protection tools for municipalities.

Cities and municipalities are key actors when it comes to concrete, local water protection measures. Cities directly benefit from coastal waters, but they also have a high impact on them. There is a range of possibilities for cities and municipalities to influence the state of local waters, through measures such as waste water treatment and storm water handling. However, in order to prioritize water protection within municipalities, the way of communicating is crucial. For this, we need monetary arguments and tailored messages for civil servants and citizens.
