One component of the Zurich, Switzerland, water system, the Hardhof groundwater treatment plant, was recently improved to provide additional capacity. Located in an urban area, the new complex incorporates features that protect the water quality and also provide open landscaped areas for public use. The groundwater supply is enhanced by artificial injection of surface water.
