Abstract
A large portion of the water resources in Sweden have been afflicted by acidification and eutrophication. Governmental grants have been allocated for external and internal restoration measures for nutrient reductions, and are at the moment given for liming operations in acidified lakes. Objective and results of the Swedish lake restoration programme during the last 20 years are discussed and evaluated.
