REPORT 5050 Environmental Quality Criteria Lakes and Watercourses SWEDEN HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF LAKES AND WATERCOURSES but the biological diversity in many of them has unfortunately declined. Many lakes have been hard hit by acidification and eutrophication. Locally, elevated concentrations of metals is a major problem. The environmental state of lakes and watercourses can be interpreted using the model criteria in this report. The report is one of a series of six reports published by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency under the heading ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CRITERIA. The reports are intended to be used by local and regional authorities, as well as other agencies, but also contain useful information for anyone with responsibility for, and an interest in, good environmental quality. Reports available in English are: Report No. • Groundwater 5051 • Coasts and Seas 5052 • Contaminated Sites 5053 Abridged versions in English of all the six reports are available on the Agency’s home page: www.environ.se (under the headline legislation/guidelines).
