• soil moisture
• ET as E + T (separately!) in irrigated agriculture
• optimising irrigation
• efficiency and productivity in agricultural usage of water, which frees
up availability of water for other sectors such as municipal and
industrial uses
• satellite imagery can effectively be utilised to detect groundwater
regions

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
“in order to consider a process or activity
green it is necessary to assess the
cumulative environmental impacts across
the entire life cycle of the product: raw
material extraction, manufacturing, use,
maintenance, reuse, transportation and
final fate. This is done using life cycle
inventory and assessment concepts […]”

Engineering: A Practical Design

2011
Which approach does it help to evaluate sustainability?

ISO 14040 and 14044 (2006)
Goal & Scope Definition:
• Determine the scope and system boundaries
Life Cycle Inventory:
• Data collection, modeling & analysis
Impact Assessment:
• Analysis of inputs/outputs using category indicators
• Group, normalize, weight results
Interpretation:
• Draw conclusions
• Checks for completeness, contribution, sensitivity analysis, consistency w/goal and scope, analysis, etc.
Why LCA? Standardised and holist approach

What recommendations would we give to other innovators?
Lessons learnt?
the science part (University) is clear and accesible
ready? …
… it depends on available personnel
the engineering part has to be secured
better from in situ resources (companies, collaborators)

World Water Day 2016: Water as Business Opportunities
Turning Water Problems Into Business Opportunities
RESEWAM-O may generate new market opportunities with a “win-win”
character:
• Agricultural farmers/cooperatives
• new green market of more sustainable, saleable agricultural
products, developed in arid/semi-arid areas
• Companies supplying water services
• more freshwater available for urban demands
• Public administration
• revitalisation of areas out of production
• new agricultural food products
• reactivation of economy
• economising products and better Environment protection
• A NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
• a small/medium enterprise (SME) to coordinate this process
and mediate between the parts
