Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Water and Natural Resources visits our head office

On 22 October 2013, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Water and Natural Resources – Professor Judi Wakhungu – visited our headquarters in Hørsholm, Denmark.

Professor Wakhungu was in Denmark as part of the Global Green Growth Forum. While here, she wanted to visit a high-tech Danish water company and receive information about Danish water knowledge.

Jacob Høst-Madsen (Chief Operating Officer, DHI Group) met Professor Wakhungu, Mr. Geert Aagaard Andersen (the Danish Ambassador to Kenya) and several high-level representatives from the Kenyan private sector at our head office. In addition to a brief introduction to our organisation, Jacob highlighted some of the work we have done in Kenya. Børge Storm – one of our senior water resources experts – spoke about our projects involving Lake Victoria and the Nile River Basin.

Miriam Feilberg – Project Director of the Danish Water Forum – discussed Danish water competencies in general, with a focus on:

• water management
• urban water
• reduction of water loss
• wastewater

The delegation also toured our hydraulic modelling laboratories.
