Seminar organised by LIFE IP Rich Waters and Waterdrive, within the Baltic Sea Regional Conference on Water Management in Agricultural Landscapes, ”Working for ecosystem services, food security and rural development in the Baltic Sea Region”.

What will be the effects of a changing climate and how can we adapt our water management to new circumstances? In this webinar we will discuss examples from the Baltic Sea region of impacts of climate change on water management in the landscape. The webinar includes presentations about impacts on freshwater ecosystem services, examples of adaptation measures to agriculture drought and case studies on impacts on water quality and quantity in agricultural areas.

The aim is to share experiences and contribute to new perspectives and ideas.
