The Danish model for sustainable water solutions
Preface
Denmark has long been actively working to address environmental pollution and improve conditions for man and nature. Much experience has consequently been gained and good solutions to the problems have been devised. More recently, Denmark has endeavoured to apply this experience to projects abroad, primarily in Eastern and Central Europe, as well as in the developing countries.
This publication describes the background for Danish solutions within the water sector, most of which are founded on extensive cooperation between authorities, research institutes, private companies and public enterprises. Danish competence is highlighted - in particular regarding public responsibilities and the operation of water supply and wastewater treatment plants. Carefully adapted to local needs, Danish know-how and expertise could make a valuable contribution to water sector projects abroad. Export of Danish know-how and expertise pertaining to sustainable water solutions takes place through cooperation between private enterprises and public institutions in Denmark and represent solid professional knowledge.
