Freshwater
is used in all processes in the food products' product chains. Process description
The present data refer to freshwater production and distribution in the Copenhagen area, Denmark. Groundwater is the main source of freshwater (99%) in this area and the water is obtained by suction from the ground. After a minor treatment (oxygenation, filtering and storage) the water is distributed to consumers by pumping. The groundwater is high quality, the distribution is safe and tap water is portable.
