The Smart Waste Water project – also called Climate Water – consists of combining smart alternative solutions for water runoff with urban development and recreational initiatives. The project is a collaboration between Kolding Municipality and BlueKolding. The project will work with a high level of citizen involvement/communication of climate protection in urban areas. This will be done in a new way within the framework of the urban development strategy. Smart solutions can be created that combine terrain-based run-off of surface water with recreational purposes, such as skater track, water experimentation or pedestrian passages, which also include the dissemination of climate protection, and the dissemination of energy saving by avoiding traditional pumping of surface water. The effort includes 3 bets: Kolding Slotsø/Vifdam area, Fuelkær Area and an integrated communication effortThe focus for the Kolding Slotsø/Vifdam area is to relieve the drainage system and thus the pumping station for as much surface water as possible. In addition, the aim is to reduce the impact on the aquatic environment and to provide greater security against flood risk. The surface water in the inner city, Kolding Slotsø/Vifdam and Kolding Bypark, must be controlled completely bypassing the traditional drainage system and diverted via terrain-based solutions. This is achieved after the declared climate protection, as flood frequency/risk from the sewage system will be reduced. Surface water shall be diverted from using 2 automatic damper systems connected to Blue Kolding’s overall control system. The effort wants to add an intelligent control option after the weather radar system from DMI. This must be done by developing and developing a computerised model. The goal of the Fuel Cutting Area is to establish a small stream, so that the surface water is directed from a built-in area down to the nature area, which has drains to Kolding Fjord. This will relieve the central pumping station, which directs the water to the central cleaning plant. The surface water must be separated from the other waste water. The effort will test this idea using a computerised model before the watercourse is realised. It will be a socio-economic benefit to think in alternative and low-cost terrain-based solutions in connection with climate protection and energy savings in relation to having to perform traditional separation of the sewer system.The integrated dissemination effort includes annual events to link sustainability activities together. The events are primarily targeted at citizens and other municipalities. The aim is to make visible to other municipalities how citizens can be involved in how their city can become more sustainable, how citizens can contribute to this. The municipality will also contribute with the sustainability element that it is passionate about.
