By taking a short tour at historical agricultural area by the Mylloja ditch and Piikkiönlahti bay shore you can get familiar with several water management measures. In case a visit to Tuorla is not a feasible option, you can take a virtual tour to the agricultural water management park.

The goal of the project is to provide information and examples on agricultural water protection measures. Selected environmentally friendly water management measures target in enhanced agricultural soil quality and crop production.
