Sustainable Design and Water Resources Management
Among the direct environmental consequences of construction,the most significant is its consumption of water and otherresources. Water is the origin of every form of life. It is a habitat,an aliment ,a means of production and transport,and acommodity.By its very nature, water creates networks: it is linked to other natural resources, land, forests, biodiversity, etc.Aquatic systems are interconnected; environmental problems have repercussions from one end to the other of ahydrographic basin. Various groups and stakeholders use water for their needs. Construction is believed to consumearound half of all the resources humans take from nature. Sustainable building and construction, is a holistic,multidisciplinary approach.This approach is increasingly being advocated for buildingsandinfrastructure. Energy efficiencyin buildings has become a key factor that has a great impact of energy security,optimization of energy of structure andenergy efficiency improvement. Furthermore, this Article is aimed to initiate implementing sustainable design of buildingconstruction in reduction of consumption of energy resources specially water and present suggestions for conservation ofwater resources.
