Water

Now, the last of the discharge from major cities along the Baltic Sea is being corrected. This will mean an enormous improvement in the waters of the south-eastern area of the Baltic Sea.

Water

The people around the Pungwe River are completely dependent on its waters and it is important that it remains clean. Joao no longer washes gold in the river, but in a special pond. "I don’t bring it to the river because panning there makes the river dead. There is a big difference from before, and the people who live here are happy", he says.

Inom Pungweprogrammet introduceras miljövänliga metoder för att utnyttja flodens vatten på ett hållbart sätt.
