Resources Approach
For technology development one normally strives for the best possible trade-off between the resources invested and services desired. Our research concept goes beyond the conventional trade-off between costs and water quality. The Resources Approach considers a broad set of resources :
- In-Water Resources
- Operational Resources
- Natural Resources
- Anthropogenic Resources
Table 1: Resources Approach
The resource schematic (Table 1) was adapted
from [Larsen, Gujer 1997]. The examples illustrate the four different resource
types represent typical resources involved in urban water management.
