Key Water Issues and Challenges
- Latvia's environment has benefited from a shift to service industries after the country regained independence
- The main environmental priorities are improvement of drinking water quality and sewage system, household, and hazardous waste management, as well as reduction of air pollution
- Arable land in Latvia is often too wet and in need of drainage, not irrigation
