About the company “Drinking Water Supply of the Future” is the key word for the Danish comprehensive development project, headed by VCS Denmark which is one of the largest water utilities in Denmark. The partners in the project include the three largest water utilities in Denmark, several consultancy companies, technology providers and one research institution. About the Products Future Water Denmark focuses on future challenges for drinking water utilities and develops state-of-the-art water technologies. The outcome of the project will be a range of software and other commercially available tools in order to support economic and sustainable operation in drinking water utilities. The tools will be available in 2015 and demonstrated on water treatment plants in Denmark’s three largest utilities in Copenhagen, Odense and Aarhus. These waterworks will be open for visit by water professionals from around the world. Objective of participation To inform about the Danish expertise within water technologies and thereby inspire water utilities around the world to improve water safety and efficiency. 23 Executive Summary Supplying high-quality watergoes hand in hand with efficiency. It is not a simple task, you must work smart rather than hard and your staff and contractors must be properly trained. Citizens want high-quality water and this can help the utility to get the money for the required investments LARS SCHRØDER Chief Executive Officer AARHUS WATER The global trends of urbanisation, population growth and increased welfare challenge cities all over the world with an increasing demand for water. Society’s drive to protect its fresh water resources will be crucial, and water utilities must find ways to ensure reliable water supply services as well as to meet a general need for increased resource efficiency. Efficiency gains This requires politicians, water authorities and water utilities to develop new water supply strategies and implement new solutions. The good news is that technologies and solutions are available in abundance, making it up to the leaders to realise the potentials. Many of the current systems and processes have evolved under conditions of limitless resources, so this is an opportunity and thinking longterm will ensure that the major gains are there. Improved drinking water safety Another important step for utilities should be ensuring the quality of the delivered water. Even if the guidelines of the World Health Organization are followed all over the world, millions of people are still exposed to dangerous levels of biological contaminants and chemical pollutants in their drinking water. Water utilities can use a management tool that stems from the food industry and known as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). Risks are analysed and critical control points identified throughout the system. Water quality is then checked, featuring the continuous monitoring of water quality at the well, where it enters and leaves the waterworks and throughout the entire supply system. Prevent problems and increase efficiency Combining the right management systems with advanced tools, designs and technology is an important element of utilities’ transformation, and gives a wide range of benefits in day-today operations. Modern technology makes water supply more reliable as it prevent problems from occurring and, if they do occur, ensures a response in due time, and a utility prepared with clear procedures for who does what and when. Modern technology will also increase energy and water efficiency, but utilities need to set specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and timely goals and develop strategies that prioritise these efforts to increase efficiency. Danish expertise This white paper shares some of the expertise of Danish-based utilities, research institutes, consulting companies and technology providers. Up until now, the focus of utilities has been to provide water of very high quality, protect groundwater resources and to supply safe drinking water all around the clock. In the coming years, Danish utilities will also undergo an increasing professionalisation in order to establish professional knowledge environments and introduce advanced management systems, including safety and energy management.

Denmark’s broad political commitment for the protection of environment and groundwater resources provides a continual institutional platform, which is key to ensuring sustainable water management KIRSTEN BROSBØL Minister for the Environment DENMARK The conflicting interests of nature and the different sectors involved in sharing limited water resources must be addressed in an integrated fashion at both policy and operational level. Increasingly difficult to reconcile goals According to the UN Water report on integrated approaches to water resources management (2012), around half of all countries have made significant progress towards implemting the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) while many others are well underway. The principles aim at securing water for all sectors, conserving water in a sustainable way and protecting water resources from pollution. However, it is increasingly difficult to adhere to these objectives as populations grow, demands for food and energy rise, the climatechanges and environmental sustainability becomesincreasingly important. Data and decision support is required An outcome of implementing IWRM is the ability to manage the demand for water. Programmes that increase water efficiency of domestic, industrial and agricultural water uses are developed along with programmes to increase the efficiency of water utilities that today face a level of 25 to 50 percent water loss at global scale. As the need for data, informationand knowledge within water resources management becomes increasingly evident, so does the need for a strong decision support system to assist water authorities in the many parts of the IWRM cycle right from planning to monitoring the impacts of interventions. Climate adaptation measures to secure water resources are built on downscaling of regional forecast models, vulnerability, risk assessments and strategic priorities. Expertise in implementing IWRM Denmark played a key role in the international foundation and development of IWRM being the first country to pilot and apply IWRM in nationaland international projects and by hosting the Secretariat of the Technical Advisory Group of the Global Water Partnership. Strict environmental regulations, private-public partnership, public, high quality data and significant involvement of research and knowledge institutions have driven Denmark ahead in integrated waterresources management. Today the public authoritiesand the private sector, made up of consulting companies and technology providerscollaborate with customers and colleagues around the world to address complex water challenges. This expertise is what we want to share in this white paper. The Rethink Water Network and Danish Water Forum White Papers. Full version at WWW.RETHINKWATER.DK 26 white paper THE RETHINK WATER NETWORK | WATER RESOURCES | AUGUST 2013 An integrated management approach for water security in all sectors Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management Executive Summary In a global perspective the access to clean water is essential for prosperity and health for all living creatures. That is the reason why we must continue to protect our water resources from both pollution and over-exploitation. KIRSTEN BROSBØL Minister for the Environment DENMARK Providing enough fresh water for a growing population and for increasing industrial production is a critical issue in many countries. Climate change is affecting global rainfall patterns and water distribution. Since there is approximately 100 times more groundwater on Earth than fresh surface water, it makes sense to exploit groundwater as a source of water. In many parts of the world, especially in arid or seasonally dry regions, groundwater can provide a stable and sustainable source of high quality water. Failed investments There is a history of many failed investments in dams or groundwater well fields. The most important cause has been the difficulty in assessing project feasibility and sustainability due to inadequate knowledge, data and tools. Sustainable exploitation requires that the main recharge areas are protected to ensure that aquifer replenishment comes from clean water. Efficient methods and tools exist Because of a relative shortage of surface water, Denmark has always relied heavily on groundwater. Danish companies are now among the world’s leading experts in exploiting this resource. Groundwater can be located very efficiently, and groundwater management made sustainable with modelling and monitoring systems. Today there is great demand around the world for this expertise and the associated technologies, which include surveying techniques, integrated water resource modelling and decision-making systems. Multiple benefits from groundwater use Groundwater is less exposed to pollution than surface water, the water quality is higher and it requires less treatment. Moreover, water utilities can benefit from planning long term. They can avoid major investment linked to surface water infrastructure and enjoy a higher level of water security. Groundwater mapping and sustainable groundwater management ensure improved knowledge of the availability of water resources, a critical factor in attracting new companies and industry. By investing in groundwater usage local business partners will develop their competence through knowledge transfer from international experts. This creates a strong platform for expanding the local water business to other regions. Management must be integrated It is important to understand that it only takes a few contaminants and/or an unbalanced approach to utilisation for groundwater resources to be damaged forever. Some of the critical issues or barriers can be addressed or resolved by accurate groundwater mapping and sustainable groundwater management, or with integrated water resources management. Groundwater is an important part of the hydrological cycle and should be managed in an integrated way with other water resources. The Rethink Water Network and Danish Water Forum White Papers.

Especially in our cities. We must all strive to balance the quality of people’s lives with sound economic and environmental development. FRANK JENSEN Lord Mayor of COPENHAGEN Cities are growing and today’s urban population of 3.2 billion will rise to nearly 5 billion by 2030, when three out of five people will live in cities. In addition, many cities also face new needs to be prepared for rising sea levels, extreme weather events with risk of flooding and periods with little or no water, with temperature rising even further in these dry periods (the urban heat island effect). This white paper explains and show examples of how Danish water expertise is used in Denmark and worldwide helping to find the optimum, sustainalbe solutions for society. An integrated approach is costefficient If wastewater and stormwater management are integrated at an early stage in the urban planning process of the existing city, or in development of new areas, benefits and synergies can be obtained and additional costs will often be relatively small. On the other hand, waiting until the town planning is almost finished, or until the heavy events occur, will only lead to very high costs and the solutions required will often no longer be simple. More value from investments If cities replace a ‘business as usual’ way of dealing with water and replace it with a holistic view of the work with new blue and green structures as an integrated part of urban development, it will give cities more value for money. Waterfronts, docklands, canals and lakes helps creating exclusive areas attracting resourceful people and 32 businesses. Studies from real estate agents in Denmark shows that real estate values in these types of areas are up to 70 percent higher. Clear visions of great importance An integrated water management approach is the most cost-efficient way and thus key in solving to the challenges that cities face of increased urbanisation and climate changes. However, reaching a sustainable society, urban planning goes beyond the priorities of city authorities and water utility and require collaboration among various stakeholders. This is why clear visions and common goals are of great importance for success. Prioritising investments A fundamental part of urban water management is — along with identifying opportunities of attractive urban environments and intelligent handling of climate changes — the thorough identification, analysis and evaluation of water related risks like flooding and contamination of drinking water. Getting a more clear picture based on thorough assessments is important to figure out which solutions that are the most important to invest in.

In this context water efficient solutions become more and more interesting, but cost is the driver; we have never been able to charge more for a product simply because it’s sustainable. STEEN RIISGAARD CEO Novozymes The availability of water will be a critical issue in the future, and the cost of water will rise. With higher living standards and a global population predicted to reach 9 billion people in the next few decades, the demand for water will increase significantly. Nearly three quarters of the total water consumption in the world relates to the consumption of food and drinks, and the United Nations has estimated that before 2030, water consumption will rise by 30 percent. Therefore, the water footprint of food products will get more attention from consumers, and be highly visible on political agendas in the near future. The industrial symbiosis model The Kalundborg Symbiosis in Denmark, established 40 years ago, is an example of a pioneering industrial park where public and private enterprises buy and sell waste products from industrial processes in a closed cycle. Annual water savings of 3 million cubic metres have been achieved by recycling and reuse. By focusing on more than just one company, industrial parks around the world have the potential to use resources more efficiently. This is of special interest to food and beverage companies, as used process water can be sold on to industries with less strict water regulation. Water efficiency pays off Sustainable use of water can be turned to the advantage of those who take steps to respond to the shortage of fresh water in the world. Frontrunners that develop high levels of water efficiency before others, and who work to specific and measurable targets with respect to reducing their water footprint, can turn water and resource efficiency into a competitive advantage. This is particularly the case in areas of the world where the problems of water scarcity and contamination are most acute. Rising water rates and wastewater discharge fees will have a much smaller economic impact on their businesses. Denmark knows water efficiency Water rates in Denmark are some of the highest in the world, reflecting the actual costs of water extraction, wastewater treatment and environmental protection. For decades, Danish food and beverage industries have shown their skills in developing new products and increasing production, despite facing rising water rates and stricter disposal regulations. Today Danish consultants and technology companies work with food and beverage companies in Denmark and around the world, to increase their water efficiency without compromising on product quality. This white paper gives food and beverage companies a valuable insight into the possibilities of water efficiency. Great results with simple measures Simple efficiency measures can provide great results. A utility water audit is the typical starting point for identifying water saving options. It may be followed by more comprehensive investigations, which consider the options for water reuse and recycling. The Rethink Water Network and Danish Water Forum White Papers.
