Aarhus Vand has joined the Horizon Europe project, WATERUN, to improve the knowledge on stormwater quality in Aarhus and the cleansing effect of green infrastructures. With more than 10 years of experience in establishing and operating blue/green infrastructure, we look forward to becoming wiser on the cleansing effect of open storm water solutions.

Aarhus Vand is establishing a leak detection field. Future water operators can train and become educated in finding leaks in water pipes. The field also works as a test and demonstration of Danish water technology.

In 2016, we entered into a Strategic Sector Cooperation with Aarhus Municipality and the city of Udaipur in India about development on the infrastructure of their water sector. The three Strategic Sector Cooperations have recently been renewed for four more years with a new grant of 56 million DKK.

Poor wastewater management is causing both environmental damage and health risks for the people of South Africa. To help optimize the wastewater management, Aarhus Vand and Aarhus Municipality have joined forces with City of Tshwane in a Strategic Sector Cooperation for a more water resilient city.

Ghana Water has reduced their water loss by 8% in the city of Tema. Technology and knowledge of leak detection has been transferred from Aarhus Vand to Tema. The gains are that employees working with water in Tema are able to actively detect and repair leaks now.

Managing the sewage system in the city of Tema in Ghana previously relied on a plan on physical paper. Through the cooperation with Aarhus Vand a digitalized plan in the shape of an app has been developed enabling quick updates on data.

The new company Utilizero is a partnership between Aarhus Vand and DHI. It has been established to help utilities reduce carbon emissions and energy usage at wastewater treatment facilities from the solid experiences and solutions for automated process management, we have here in Denmark.

The United Nations expect that the world will use up to 40 percent more water in 2025 than in 2015. At Aarhus Vand we use asset management to reduce water loss.

At Aarhus Vand we are very engaged in business creation and how to improve areas within the field of water supply. Therefore, we created the company DRYP together with MONTEM.

At Aarhus Vand, one of our primary focuses is on developing new and innovative solutions to improve the sustainability and efficiency of the water sector.

The company Zediment delivers drone-based scannings of the capacity of reservoirs at wastewater treatment plants and in stormwater basins. This solution is the first of its kind and can save the water utility huge operational costs.

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.

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.

Truelsbjerg Waterworks in the northern part of Aarhus sets new technological, architectural and operational standards for waterworks. It has started a trend in new design that has inspired several water utilities in Denmark.

At Aaby and Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plants Aarhus Vand extract phosphorus from the wastewater and sell it as valuable fertiliser under the name PhosphorCare.
