Winner of the AVK World Water Award

To celebrate this year's World Water Day, AVK invited customers and partners to take part in a global case story contest. A contest that focuses on the importance of water, and on our shared way of contributing to a more sustainable development for our planet.

Among a row of case stories from around the world, the jury has chosen a story that in the best way fulfil the contest criteria; Aiming at living up to as many Sustainable Development Goals as possible, with no. 6 "Water and sanitation for all" as a minimum, the jury also evaluated the aspects of safe water assurance and pollution avoidance, and to what degree AVK products are assisting in achieving these goals.

And, we can now proudly present our winner: Project Director Mr. Ömer Özkan, for his case story about securing the invaluable historic city of Mardin through the construction of two advanced wastewater treatment plants.

Read Mr. Ömer Özkan inspiring story below, and learn more about how his construction project is reducing pollution of both the city and the local Zergan river, helping to restore the riverbed's natural habitat, all while contributing to our common, global goals of a more sustainable development.

We are looking forward to welcoming Mr. Özkan to a fantastic Oyster Safari & Festival on the Danish island Fanoe, and with a celebrational visit to our AVK facilities in Galten, Denmark later this year.
