Sisävesistöt

Sisävesistöt, or internal water bodies, refer to bodies of water that are located within a country's borders, as opposed to external water bodies which are located outside the country's borders. These can include lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Internal water bodies play a crucial role in the country's ecosystem, providing habitats for various flora and fauna, and contributing to the country's water cycle. They also have significant economic value, supporting activities such as fishing, tourism, and hydropower generation. However, they can also be vulnerable to pollution and overuse, making their conservation and sustainable management essential. The management of sisävesistöt often involves coordination between various stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and non-governmental organizations.
