This year is the 20th jubilee of Stockholm<br />
Junior <strong>Water</strong> Prize (SJWP)!<br />
What is it? The SJWP is an international<br />

is held during <strong>World</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Week</strong> each<br />
year. H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of<br />

technology, natural or social<br />
science that helps to tackle<br />

The approach? All projects<br />
must use a research-oriented<br />
approach, including<br />
scientifically accepted<br />
methodologies for<br />
investigation,<br />
experimentation,<br />
monitoring and<br />
reporting the results.<br />
