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.

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.

Aarhus Vand supplies drinking water of the best quality merely by filtering and aerating the water on its way to the citizens’ taps. However, we can only do this because we think ahead and always take the groundwater into consideration.

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.

You might not think about it when you open your tap and have a glass of water. How did our water get so clean? Operations assistant, Anders Sørensen has the answer. He makes sure that the citizens of Aarhus Municipality have clean tap water.

We get our tap water from our ground water resources and, therefore, it is essential that we take care of these resources before they run out. At Aarhus Vand, we are doing everything we can to ensure that our resources will last for many decades to come.

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.

Up to 10,000 households’ washing machines and toilets in the suburb Nye – near the city of Aarhus - will soon use rainwater instead of drinking water. This is estimated to cut water consumption by as much as 40 percent.

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.
