We have reopened the cased Aarhus River so that people are once again able to enjoy the open water areas in the centre of Aarhus. The opening of the river is also an important part of Aarhus Vand’s project about flood prevention and preventing wastewater from overflowing into lakes, streams and bay.

The new and improved Bederværket is built as an integrated part of the surrounding areas. With this new facility, it is possible for the public to follow the way of the water – from groundwater to tap water.

Water managers often lack coherent and updated information that clarifies the complex water system interactions to a degree where vital correlations and dependencies are known and understood.

At Aaby and Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plants we have extracted phosphorus from the wastewater. Over a decade this has been sold as a valuable fertiliser under the name PhosphorCare.
