Turning global water challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth

Water is a scarce resource that is under increasing pressure. According to the UN, global water consumption will increase by 30 % by 2030 due to population growth and increased wealth. Several challenges related to water supply, water quality and wastewater treatment could be avoided or reduced through integrated water management and an intelligent approach to the entire water cycle. By treating water as the valuable and vital resource that it is, Denmark has been able to reduce water consumption by almost 40 % since 1980 and increase energy efficiency throughout the water cycle.

Tackling today's challenges with the innovations of tomorrow

Current and future challenges in wastewater treatment include the handling of xenobiotics such as PFAS, pharmaceutical substances, microplastics, as well as reducing emissions of greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide. At the same time, there is a growing interest in recycling wastewater as a water resource for Power-to-X plants that requires ultrapure water.

Water resource management

An integrated water resource management approach aims at securing water for all sectors, sustainably conserving water, and protecting water resources from pollution. Understanding the various water supply sources as a holistic ‘one source’, enables better integrated and more sustainable management of the overall supply.

Water supply

Meeting the need for a sustainable water supply requires increasing efforts on protecting water resources, a focus on efficient utility operations, and reducing urban water losses. Supplying good quality drinking water starts with water source protection and lasts throughout the distribution system.

Water in industries

Challenges to production capacity, due to increasing water supply issues, are putting pressure on industries. To stay competitive industries must look to efficient reduction in water consumption in production and to local treatment of the industrial wastewater for possible reuse.

Wastewater management

Proper management of wastewater is necessary to protect both people and ecosystems. Wastewater management enables the harvesting of the many resources wastewater and treatment holds.

Climate change adaptation

Expanding mitigation to include adaptation in dealing with climate change, enables a holistic view that can combat previous negative social, environmental, and economic impacts and result in both climate resilient and more liveable places to live. Over the next 15-20 years, Denmark will spend more than EUR 5 billion on adapting its cities to climate changes.

Digital water solutions

With the increasing possibility for data collection in water management, new smart solutions arise for automation and improved decision making. Today, water utilities in Denmark have adopted smart water systems, ensuring high-quality production and supporting strategic rehabilitation planning.
