Our vital water

IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute has a strong combined water expertise. We work with everything from advanced water treatment technology to acidified lakes and the development of a sustainable blue economy.

Working with clean water and healthy aquatic environments is one of our largest areas of activity. We carry out risk assessments, inventories and environmental studies of how various activities affect groundwater, watercourses, lakes and marine ecosystems.

At SWIC - Sjöstadsverket Water Innovation Center - we test world-leading technology to reuse and utilize treated wastewater. On Gotland, we are developing methods to utilize rainwater. At Kristineberg Marine Research Station, we have had significant marine activities for many years, focusing on pollution in the marine environment and sustainable aquaculture. Contact us when you need a holistic approach to water issues.

Clean water in Mumbai

VL's work focused on SDG 6 – Clean water and sanitation – continues in India. Currently, IVL is working as an environmental consultant in several projects related to clean water in Mumbai, for example the Mithi River Rejuvenation Projects, which aim to reduce the pollution load of the river and restore it to its original state.

Marine micro-debris

Micro-debris is small particles of plastic, textiles, rubber, asphalt, and various incineration particles. There is still a lack of comprehensive knowledge of the risks posed by micro-debris in the environment – which means further investigation is important.

Oil spills and emissions

Oil is increasingly transported on the seas, leading to a greater risk of oil spills. IVL has experience from numerous oil spills, and has conducted several large environmental follow-ups.
