WATER SUPPLY – Introduction Water is our most valuable foodstuff. It is essential for agricultural operations and thus also for the production of the majority of foodstuffs. We use water every day for personal care, for hygiene and in our households. And last but not least, clean water is also crucial for most industrial processes. It is therefore understandable that the first reason for passing the European Water Framework Directive (EU-WFD) reads: “Water must be managed and protected. It is not merely a consumer product, but a precious natural resource, vital to future generations as well as our own.” Despite its vital importance, we take it for granted that the required amount of clean water will come out of the faucet as soon as we turn it on. To ensure that this is the case at CHEMPARK and the surrounding communities, CURRENTA’s water supply staff are faced with a large number of technical challenges each and every day. And since the natural water supply – be it surface water or groundwater – is constantly replenishing itself, but not to the extent that we would like, we conserve this valuable resource. The water that we treat is a balanced mixture of surface water (from the Rhine, to be precise), bank infiltrate (also from the Rhine) and a small amount of groundwater. This variable water sourcing also ensures exceptional security of supply. As a competence center for pure water for the chemical industry, CURRENTA Water Supply reliably provides the three CHEMPARK sites in Leverkusen, Dormagen and Krefeld-Uerdingen with the volume of water they require, in whatever quality they desire – a total of 400 million cubic meters per year, which is more than the capacity of the Tegernsee lake. Quality ranges from process water to drinking water that complies with the German Drinking Water Ordinance and high-purity fully desalinated water. Through our own long-term water rights, reliable production facilities and highly qualified staff, we safeguard security of supply for our customers at CHEMPARK and also in the neighboring communities. The Water Supply segment provides more than just water, however. It also provides support in all issues relating to water legislation, keeps you informed of current issues and represents you in dealings with the authorities and institutions. 02 03 WATER SUPPLY – Prudent water management PRUDENT WATER MANAGEMENT When it comes to extracting, using and treating water, CURRENTA Water Supply undertakes wide-ranging activities to protect waterways and the environment. Protecting waterways together To ensure it remains possible to supply clean water in the Precise knowledge of these correlations are necessary long term using treatment methods that are in harmony before a well can be drilled, for example. At the same with nature, CURRENTA Water Supply has joined forces with time, we are in close contact with the relevant authorities, trade associations (for example the IAWR – International because the legal situation governing water always Association of Waterworks in the Rhine Catchment Area) to demands collaboration with the local authorities protect waterways, because “Protecting the water situation responsible. Monitoring groundwater flows is also [...] will have economic benefits [...]” (EU-WFD). mandatory. CURRENTA also maintains its own partnerships with agricultural firms to prevent any impairment of water quality before it occurs. Thanks to a closely linked groundwater measuring network and using hydrogeological models, we monitor groundwater flows around CHEMPARK and safeguard a reliable water supply while also protecting the groundwater. CURRENTA water managers also investigate the conditions in the ground and create detailed maps showing the interaction and behavior of groundwater flows in relation to the level of the Rhine and layers of soil. Monitoring inside the cooling tower 04 Avoiding environmental impact Using energy efficiently When taking water from wells, we are generally extracting We and our staff systematically use every opportunity Rhine bank infiltrate that quickly replenishes itself. This to save energy. In the last few years, Water Supply has comes from the river through the sand and gravel near the achieved an annual increase in efficiency of approximately bank. Adsorption and biological decomposition processes one to two percent. Employees make their own mean that it is naturally cleansed of many unwanted suggestions for improvements, which is a great help to us ingredients. In this way, we are also able to conserve in continuously improving our technology and reducing groundwater resources. energy consumption. Our industrial cooling systems apply the compression principle and operate many times We monitor the water quality of the Rhine. After all, this more efficiently than refrigerators or air-conditioning has a direct impact on the quality of drinking and process systems. While a typical household refrigerator generates water at CHEMPARK and the treatment it requires. The four kilowatts of cooling capacity from one kilowatt hour used and cleaned cooling and process water that we feed of energy, our plants achieve a cooling capacity of 150 back into the Rhine is noticeably different to river water. kilowatts from the same energy. It is considerably clearer. However, it is also somewhat warmer. To minimize the warming of the Rhine, we also use closed circuits with cooling towers. We replace the water lost through evaporation. However, since this is only a negligible amount, this also enables us to reduce the amount of fresh water we extract. 05 WATER SUPPLY – Water extraction plants WATER EXTRACTION PLANTS CURRENTA Water Supply extracts cooling and process water primarily from river water plants on the Rhine, while wells form the basis for the production of drinking and fully desalinated water. 06 Since we have such a wide range of very variable “sources” for our water, we have to transport it to the treatment plants using different extraction units. We extract surface water from the Rhine using intake structures, while bank Humus infiltrate and groundwater are taken from wells. We use both horizontal and vertical filter wells.

  • Dutch. a Linguistic History of Holland and Belgium
    Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium Bruce Donaldson bron Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium. Uitgeverij Martinus Nijhoff, Leiden 1983 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/dona001dutc02_01/colofon.php © 2013 dbnl / Bruce Donaldson II To my mother Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium VII Preface There has long been a need for a book in English about the Dutch language that presents important, interesting information in a form accessible even to those who know no Dutch and have no immediate intention of learning it. The need for such a book became all the more obvious to me, when, once employed in a position that entailed the dissemination of Dutch language and culture in an Anglo-Saxon society, I was continually amazed by the ignorance that prevails with regard to the Dutch language, even among colleagues involved in the teaching of other European languages. How often does one hear that Dutch is a dialect of German, or that Flemish and Dutch are closely related (but presumably separate) languages? To my knowledge there has never been a book in English that sets out to clarify such matters and to present other relevant issues to the general and studying public.1. Holland's contributions to European and world history, to art, to shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering, bulb growing and cheese manufacture for example, are all aspects of Dutch culture which have attracted the interest of other nations, and consequently there are numerous books in English and other languages on these subjects. But the language of the people that achieved so much in all those fields has been almost completely neglected by other nations, and to a degree even by the Dutch themselves who have long been admired for their polyglot talents but whose lack of interest in their own language seems never to have disturbed them.
