Water management in crisis and war

Research Project, 2025 – 2028

Water Management in Crisis and War (ViKK) aims to strengthen Sweden´s ability to secure water supplies during long-term and extensive crises. Experiences from, among others, the war in Ukraine show how vulnerable society becomes when water resources are threatened or interrupted, and how crucial alternative systems, backup solutions and increased preparedness are.

The project will strengthen Sweden´s ability to manage water safely, both in everyday life and in times of crisis. In the event of a shortage of drinking water, other water can be used for activities that do not require drinking water quality.
