Water Quality

The bathing water at Badebro ved molen på Sønderstrand has not yet been classified. Samples taken at the monitoring station indicate excellent quality. The area is served by public sewerage. Potential pollution sources include Farversmøllebæk to the south and Mølleåen to the north; contributions from these and surrounding areas are assessed as relatively low. Primary pollution risk occurs during strong winds and heavy rain, which can cause sewage system overflows, runoff from watercourses, and surface water contamination. Such pollution is typically short-lived and usually lasts a maximum of 3 days.

Risks

Risk of cyanobacterial blooms (blue-green algae), particularly after periods of heavy rain followed by warm weather. Large quantities of macroalgae (seaweed) can occur at the water's edge, and bathing is discouraged in areas with large macroalgae accumulations. Risk of phytoplankton growth is assessed as very small. Occasional pollution from accidents involving pleasure boats, manure tanks, and sewage pipes is possible. Risks of glass, litter, and chemical pollution including oil spills are mentioned as possible occasional occurrences.
