Sustainability Environment Solutions
Philosophy
The tolerance level of the natural
environment as the ultimate limiting factor for economic and social
development is not a fixed parameter. Fundamental environmental processes,
operating at the key spatial and temporal scales are an equivalent part of
development. The capacity to act within this interrelationship determines
the continuity over time of development and its potential for economic and
social development.

Interdisciplinary cooperation
between natural and human sciences is the multi causal background to
elaborate cost-/benefit analysis with environmental dimensions.
WaterTrust provides an integrated and holistic approach in
its endeavourer to move towards a sustainable balance between human activity
with its economic development and the regenerative capacity of natural
resources.
The economic activities needed for
environmentally friendly economic development include the promotion of
self supporting systems, a remarkable cost cutting factor over time.
Water
and environmental planning
Example:
Sealing the soil with a building
and treating the collected rainfall water as sewage water is definite
consumption, speaking in terms of cost – benefit with environmental
dimensions. Even in dry Mediterranean conditions a square meter collects
app. Half cubic meter of physical rainwater.
Developments and environmental planning have to incorporate the second R
R euse
The technical opportunities to reuse water in a water circuit
following required quality standards.
Example
The reduction of industrial water
demand increases substantially by keeping the water at the quality
standards required for the production process only. To reduce agricultural
demand under floor drainage systems are highly competitive over
time.
Developments and environmental planning are
asked for the third R in responsible management planning covering any opportunity of
conserving water resources through
Example
Most of sewage water can be
recycled to quality standards fulfilling any demand of arbori cultures (
tree cultivation), thus enhancing the humidity gradient towards a self
supporting system stabilizing supply and demand over time.
