Sydvatten at Lake Bolmen, has joined with VA SYD Källby Water Workshop and NSVA RecoLab, on a collaborative Vinnova funded test bed to develop online drinking water quality monitoring. The Testbed project was presented during the National Drinking Water conference, 26 of October, in Malmö.
SITES AquaNet plans for a coordinated mesocosm experiment on the effect of run-off variability in five lakes next summer. A call for researchers and students to participate will open soon.
Only a few lakes remain to be investigated, with the most recent sediment sampling taking place at Lake Erken. Sediments along the four transects with GHG chambers were successfully collected in mid-September. At each GHG transect two sediment cores were collected, representing a shallow and deep depth within the transect. Most sediment was sampled with a gravity corer, however at shallow depths within the reed belts innovative sampling techniques were required.
