There is a growing challenge in providing quality water to communities and serving the rapidly growing cities with efficient water supply, drainage and wastewater systems. The demands to improve the environment and human health conditions are also getting larger. One of the major challenges in the 21st century is de-coupling economic growth from environmental degradation.

Fresh water is a precious resource, maybe the most precious resource we have. The provision of high quality water to our communities and efficient drainage and wastewater systems for our cities is a challenge, which escalates as our cities grow and good quality water becomes more and more scarce. Urban flooding, combined or separate sewer overflows, treatment processes and receiving water impact are high priority issues all over the World.

An increase in the resource efficiency in the industrial production by a factor of four is anticipated within the scientific community and the UN. This corresponds to a doubling of the production using half the present resource consumption within the coming 20-30 years.

We contribute to the industry by making the numerous and complex challenges more simple. We are world leaders in urban drainage including flood risk assessment and radar based rainfall forecasts.

Our integration of IT and consultancy to plan, operate and manage water utilities is state of the art tools for cost and resource effective operation and it gives at the same time management the necessary overview.
