The Danish model for sustainable water solutions

Sustainable water supply and wastewater treatment

Danish cities are known for their safe and reliable water and wastewater services of a high environmental standard.

Optimization has enabled Danish water utilities to become cost-competitive, while achieving the goal of providing water and wastewater services to consumers at the lowest cost without compromising quality, thereby enabling them to retain control of operations. Danish experience in this area is now available to water sector projects abroad.

Training and twinning

Danish companies organize training courses on the planning, operation, restoration and maintenance of water and wastewater services. The courses are divided into categories (practical, technical and technical/administrative), but are tailor-made according to the individual requirements of the client.

The instructors come from Danish water and wastewater utilities and are specialists in all the practical and administrative tasks necessary for the efficient management of such utilities. Their long working experience has provided them with a comprehensive understanding of the whole spectrum of water supply and wastewater disposal issues.

The available expertise encompasses all levels ranging from management to specialists to technicians.

Danish authorities have been working with practical twinning arrangements for many years.
