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 overexploitation.
IDA AUKEN
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 decisionmaking 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 | WATER RESOURCES | FEBRUARY 2013
Greater
water security
with groundwater
Groundwater mapping and sustainable groundwater management
Executive Summary
It is common to see
cities where 25-50% of
the water distributed
never makes its way
to the customers. For
growing cities this is
a particular problem;
expanding the water
distribution networks
without a program for
reducing urban water
losses means expanding
a cycle of inefficiency.
PER JACOBSEN
Director, Water Supply & Sewerage
GREATER COPENHAGEN UTILITY
Cities are growing even faster 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. Water consumption on a
global scale is estimated by the United
Nations to increase by up to 30 percent
before 2030, but demand will increase
a lot more in most cities.
Often 20 to 50 percent water is lost
It is a major issue for water utilities
to solve the considerable difference
between the amount of produced,
distributed water, and the amount
invoiced to the consumers. This
difference is known as Non-Revenue
Water (NRW) and amounts globally
to a magnitude between 25 and
50 percent of the total amount of
water supplied. Causing factors are
inaccurate billing systems, deficient
customer registration, deteriorating
infrastructure, fluctuating water
temperatures, soil movement,
vibrations, water pressure changes,
inaccurate metering, theft and illegal
connections.
Best in class down to 5 to 8 percent
Best in class are cities between 5 and
8 percent, while utilities with older
and poorly maintained infrastructure,
that are poorly managed with no
systematic approach to leak detection,
may approach 40 percent or even
higher. NRW is thus a good indicator
for water utility performance and high
levels typically indicate an inadequate
managed water utility.
Financial benefits of taking action
NRW is a well-understood challenge
by most utilities, but only few are
successful in reducing the level to
an acceptable level; and keeping the
level low! Much of the failure is caused
by the technical difficulties and the
complexity of managing NRW and lack
of understanding of the benefits of
taking action. Reducing NRW levels by
50 % is often a realistic target which
would generate an estimated 2.9 billion
US dollars in cash every year for the
water sector globally, from increased
revenues and reduced costs. Figures
of such magnitude, even a rough
estimate, should obviously capture
the attention of politicians and water
responsible people.
Danish expertise down to just 5 percent
Average water losses in Denmark are
down to only 7 percent because water
utilities, authorities, consultants and
technology suppliers have worked
together on developing cost efficient
leakage
management
systems
supported by political and legal
regulations. This white paper contains
advice, and shows examples, of how
utilities around the world successfully
have reduced NRW with help from
Danish companies.

Executive Summary
Sustainable solutions is
no longer a choice for
most societies: it’s a
must.
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 cost-efficient
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
businesses. Studies from real estate
16
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.

Executive Summary
As the cost of resources
rises, companies
increasingly see the
economic potential in
becoming more resource
efficient. 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.
