46. This work was performed within the Swedish Water Management Research Program (VASTRA), which is financed by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (MISTRA). Modeling of changed agricultural practices was performed by Martin Larsson, Holger Johnsson and Katarina Kyllmar at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and costs of agricultural measures was calculated by Lars Jonasson (Lantbruksekonomen). Necessary input data for the Rönneå catchment was obtained from Municipalities, Ekologgruppen, the local water protection associations (Rönneås vattenvårdsförbund, Ringsjökomittén) and the County board.
