dc.description.abstractWater is essential to sustain life and the protection of water sources is an increasingly important issue. However, implementing water protection measures can be difficult due to economic factors, time constraints or political motives. Recently, the ecosystem services framework has been modified to aid in the implementation of water protection measures, which are called water system services. This thesis is focused on investigating how the concept of water system services (WSS), i.e. services provided by water sources to society, can be included when performing a risk assessment for the protection of water sources. Visualizing the WSS in an effective and informative way is a key step to show what services and the importance of the services that the water sources can provide. The water sources that are investigated in this report are Lake Mjörn and Sollebrunn-Gräfsnäs aquifer. To start the investigation, a thorough literature review on the subject of water protection and visualization was performed. A previously made list of WSS was used to identify existing services for the water sources. Identified hazards were then connected to the existing services. The identified WSS and the connection to the hazards were visualized, and if there were hazards that were also a service these were visualized as well. To exemplify, a risk assessment was then performed for one hazard at each water source. The identified WSS was given scores based on decided parameters and the specific threats of the hazards. The key result of the study is a strategy for how to incorporate WSS into risk assessment for potential or existing drinking water sources. The visualizations presented are examples of how the relation between WSS and hazards can be illustrated for different stakeholders and recipients. In conclusion, including WSS in the risk assessment provides a bigger picture than just looking at the service of drinking water and the developed method can be used in the process of creating a water protection area.
