Let's clean the waters of Virumaa!
LIFE IP CleanEST is an integrated water management project that is focused on improving the status of water bodies in Ida-Viru and Lääne-Viru Counties.
The project was launched by the Ministry of the Environment in 2019. Within a space of ten years, the project will focus on the measures of the existing water management plan, as well as on potential new solutions. For example, remote monitoring solutions are being developed and ecosystem services are being mapped.
In total, the project covers an area of 240,000 hectares, involving a total of 574 km of bodies of watercourses and almost 160,000 hectares of coastal water bodies. As an integrated project, the water bodies of Ida-Viru and Lääne-Viru Counties are dealt with as a whole, taking into consideration diffuse and point sources of pollution, pressure factors, as well as ecological condition.

Earlier this year, the Environmental Board invited people in Virumaa, as part of the LIFE IP CleanEST project, to notice and photograph the water bodies in their local area, their wildlife, and the impact of human activity on the aquatic environment. A selection of the photographs submitted to the competition has now made its way to an exhibition.
