Danish national Water Grand Prix and Wiener Wasser

Refreshing water

The Danish Trade associations DANVA and FVD have instituted the Danish national Water Grand Prix to bring into focus Danish drinking water - we need to tell that Vienna has excellent drinking water too - flowing in direct from the High Alps

 

November 2006 the national Water Grand Prix was awarded for the first time in Denmark. Drinking water from eight finalist among Danish waterworks was tasted and evaluated at the final – and the winner was Vejgaard Vandværk situated in Northern Jutland that has now the right to use the distinguished title “supplier of Denmark ’s most tasteful water”. The price has been instituted by DANVA and FVD to bring into focus the good Danish drinking water. Next time the Water Grand Prix will be awarded in 2008.

Wiener Wasser is also very tasteful – probably only a few are aware that the water coming from the Viennese taps actually origins from the High Alps. Every day two aquaeducts transport 380.000 kubicmetres of water (corresponds to 95% of the Viennese drinking water) down to the capital. One is 90 km and has its source in the area Rax/Schneeberg in Lower Austria , the second is 180 km long and has its sourcce in the area Hoachschwab in Styria. The two spring areas with a total of approx. 600 km2 are taken very good care of. The city of Vienna has bought particularly sensible areas to avoid pollution and erosion that might damage important natural water filters and –reservoirs.
