Policies and rules
The water authority carries out statutory tasks. How we do our work is set out in our Blue Environmental Vision, in the six-year water management program, the annual plan, and in documents on specific topics. We use appropriate rules to treat everyone equally. We account for our work in the annual report. Our policies and rules also demonstrate that we are working to create a future-proof region with robust water management, customized solutions, and cooperation.
