Of the 27 European EU-countries, Denmark is still on the top 10-list of countries with the best bathing water quality.

For many Europeans, holidays revolve around bathing water. Today Europe’s bathing waters are much cleaner than forty years ago when large quantities of untreated or partially treated municipal and industrial wastewater were discharged into water.
