Clean water is a science


Last Monday Oslo Kamera Klubb visited Oset renseanlegg in Oslo. Oslo Kommune wants to showcase some of their environmental issues and responses to the people of Oslo, and photography is a powerful way to do that.

Oset renseanlegg is situated next to the main drinking water reservoir in Oslo, and purifies about 90% of the tap water in Oslo. I had never considered it, but I found that clean water was a science. The water passes through several steps of cleaning. Among else the water passed through different filters (like sand), they added chemicals and metals to create salts, and all the way down to radiating the water with UV-lights, killing bacteria, virus and parasites.

Pipes and rails can be quite interesting motives, and these were inside caves.

Have a look.
