Measures
Measures in case areas
Environmental measures used in case areas in the partner countries.Denmark - Measures in pilot areas
The work in Waterdrive will focus on implementation of new drainage measures in Denmark at sub-catchment level.
Constructed wetlands with woodchips (Woodchip bioreactors) will be implemented in a pilot scheme in 2019. Intelligent bufferzones in 2020.
Saturated bufferzones are now being scientifically investigated in Denmark – the measure is in progress in the United States. Wetlands have been implemented as environmental measures in Denmark for more than 25 years.
Have a look at all of the environmental initiatives in Denmark in this visual catalog.- Constructed wetlands
