00:00 More than half of Denmark`s drinking water supplies are contaminated with pesticides
00:04 and other toxins. The findings are from a report commissioned by several Danish regional
00:09 councils. One in ten water sources exceeds acceptable levels of contamination, it concludes.
00:15 The report says the situation has reached a critical point and threatens the transition
00:20 to a green economy. Several waterworks are in the process of purifying their drinking
00:25 water. At the same time, Copenhagen uses up to 2.5 times more water than what geologists
00:31 consider sustainable.
