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.

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.

Total energy renovation of the treatment plant at Egaa, just outside Aarhus, means that Aarhus Vand is setting new standards for developing treatment plants from energy guzzlers into energy producers.

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.

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.
