The MEWS Swedish group met with stakeholders from the two Stockholm water
supplies, Stockholm Vatten och Avfall and Norrvatten, that depend on Lake
Mälaren as a water source. This was a joint meeting with the Water4All project
EcoTwin (https://www.bangor.ac.uk/ecotwin) which is also working with the same stakeholders to develop a digital twin that will address Mälaren water quality issues, and compliment thework undertaken by MEWS. In the first half of the meeting the EcoTwin project was presented to the stakeholders and they were asked to define the water quality issues and ecosystem services that are most important for water supply operation, and which could be included in the digital twin. In the second half of the meeting the MEWS project updated the stake holders on the progress of the model development, and model results for Lake Mälaren, including progress in water quality calibration and 3D modeling. Results of Master student projects co-supervised by MEWS and the water utilities were presented. Finally we also evaluated our progress on simulating extreme events identified by the stakeholders as test cases for the MEWS modeling system.
