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.

What can African water experts learn from Estonia? As it turns out, quite a lot. Although thousands of kilometres separate us, the biggest challenges in water management are remarkably similar. That is why a joint delegation from Mozambique and Zimbabwe visited Ida-Virumaa and Lääne-Virumaa counties in Estonia to learn about the solutions and results achieved through the LIFE IP CleanEST project.

We use water every day—but when was the last time you talked about it? Most of us only notice water when a bathing area is closed because of blue-green algae, heavy rain turns streets into rivers, or a dry summer raises concerns about crops and drinking water. In reality, water is connected to our health, safety, food security, and future every single day.
