The meeting gathered local stakeholder group from Östergötland County involved in the BIGDATA 4RIVERS project. It included representatives from the County Administrative Board, the municipalities and the water councils in the region.
- The objectives of this meeting were to inform the stakeholders about the goals, ideas and plans of the BD4R project. In addition we presented the experiences from the first site visit in Greece.
- We discussed the need of at least one more local stakeholder to cover the municipality of Norrköping. This to include all municipalities along the river.
- Good practise that we want to show during our site visit was discussed:
- Tinnerbäcken – an example of how to work operative in the spatial planning, close cooperation between CAB (regional authority) and the municipalities.
- VISS – the water information system in Sweden
- Plan and strategies for storm water
- Wastewater treatment of pharmaceuticals
- A passage for fish by the water power plant in the river in Linköping - We discussed our expected result. We discussed that we could carry out two local actin plans with detailed planning of actions to be taken
- Furthermore, we presented to the stakeholders what can be the benefit for Östergötland from the participation in the BD4R project.
- Also that we need all input to identify the local water management problems, room for improvement and potential good practices in Östergötland County, from the perspective of the various stakeholders involved.
- The LSG will have meetings every six months, if possible after the study visits
- The LSG will be informed about the progress made on the project and the lesions learned in the study visits
- Next meeting will be scheduled by Sara in autumn 2020
