# Schwimmende Abdeckungen in Österreich — EuroCover

Patentierte sechseckige Schwimmabdeckungen für österreichische Wasserwerke, Biogasanlagen und Industrie. ÖWAV-konform und WRG-konform.

Austrian water utilities, biogas operators, and (increasingly) agricultural operators in the
eastern lowlands deploy hexagonal floating covers for algae control, heat retention, and
evaporation suppression.

## Austrian water context

Eastern Austria (Burgenland, Niederösterreich) faces accelerating climate-driven drought. The
Austrian biogas sector is mature and concentrated in the agricultural belt; municipal water
utilities have well-developed quality-management programs.

## Austrian regulatory landscape

- **Wasserrechtsgesetz (WRG 1959)** — Austrian Water Rights Act.
- **ÖWAV** — Austrian water and waste-management association.
- **EU Water Framework Directive** transposed into Austrian law.

## Common Austrian applications

- **Municipal water reservoirs** for algae management
- **Biogas digesters and digestate storage**
- **Wastewater plant odor control**
- **Agricultural irrigation reservoirs** in drought-affected eastern regions
