Water is the foundation of life and it plays many an important role, from ecology and climate to economy and the well-being of people.

Overview


Estonia might be a small country, but it's incredibly water-rich — nearly 5% of its territory is covered by lakes, rivers, and streams. Wetlands (bogs and mires) cover nearly 6-8% of Estonia.

Monitoring water conditions, maintaining its good condition and using water sparingly is essential to ensure our country’s sustainability for future generations.
