KWC investointi

The aim is to create the best possible framework for the North Savo region through investments to develop and promote the emergence of new innovations and new business in the water sector. The goal is a pilot-scale RDI environmental entity located in the Pohjois-Savo region, with the capacity to test and develop new innovations related to water purification, nutrient recycling, monitoring and modeling of aquatic environments, as well as water resources management and the blue bioeconomy.

The Maaninka site at the Natural Resources Institute Finland is investing in upgrading the Kirmanjärvi catchment area measurement network, the runoff measurement field and the surface runoff simulator to meet future needs, thus providing information on the effects of agriculture on the nutrient load of water bodies in Northern Savonia.
