The project ”Siuruanjoki kuntoon” (Making Siuruanjoki River Fit) objective was to apply various means of mitigate the diffuse loading impacts of a large watershed area within three municipalities in Northern Finland; i.e. within the Provinces of Lapland and Ostrobotnia. The project was carried out in Ostrobothnia in the years 2000-2006. The project aim was to improve the quality of the water in Siuruanjoki River and the condition of the water system in such a way that it would be better suited to meet the needs of recreation, fishing, and tourism. The project was accomplished by mitigating the impacts of diffuse loading, restoring parts of the water system, and tending the river bank areas. The diffuse loading was mitigated by reducing the external loading from agriculture and forestry, and by improving the waste water treatment solutions used with regard to the rural population and holiday-home users. Lake Saunajarvi in the area of Pudasjarvi was restored by means of intensified fishing aimed at ridding the lake of undesirable and excessive fish species. In addition, the project included the central objective of adding to the environmental awareness and sense of responsibility of the local people. Among the achievements of the project were the formulation of overall forestry-related plans for the protection of the water system, trials with new peat-production-related methods of treating run-off water, formulation of property-specific plans for improving the treatment of waste water, and nutrient balance studies were created for farms along with the conducting of environmental assessments. The project was mostly managed by Regional Environmental Agency of Ostrobothnia Pohjois-Pohjanmaan ymparistokeskus in close co-operation with local actors. The project had a total budget of € 630,705.
