The

can
be
separated
into
GREEN

BLUE
water.
GREEN
water
(79%)
is
the
frac;on
of
rainfall
that
generates
soil
moisture
and
which
supports
terrestrial
ecosystems.
It
is
not
returned
to
groundwater
and
rivers,
but
will
eventually
evaporate
or
transpire
through
plants.
BLUE
water
(21%),
is
the
frac;on
that
runs
into
rivers
and
aquifers,
and
that
has
a
poten>al
for
withdrawal
for
societal
use.
Out
of
this,
the
environmental

flow
is
the
amount
of
water
needed
to

According
to

in

there

to

most

careful

The
availability
of
natural
freshwater
on
the
planet
is
very
small.
97%
is
salt
water,
while
most
of
the
remaining
3%
is
in
the
form
of
ice
or
otherwise
hardly
available.
It
is
es;mated
that
only
0.3%
of
the
planet
is
in
the
form
easily
drinkable,
and
at
this
availability
is
uneven
distributed
so
as
to
create
zones
of
absolute
cri;cality.
Therefore,
clearly
one
of
the
future
sources
of
drinking
water
can
only
be
the
sea
through
desalina;on
plants.

48. Desalina:on
Desalina;on,
desaliniza;on,
or
desalinisa;on
refers
to
any
of
several
processes
that
remove
excess
salt
and
other
minerals
from
water.
Water
is
desalinated
in
order
to
convert
salt
water
to
fresh
water
so
it
is
suitable
for
human
consump;on
or
irriga;on.
Most
of
the
modern
interest
in
desalina;on
is
focused
on
developing
cost-­‐effec;ve
ways
of
providing
fresh
water
for
human
use
in
regions
where
the
availability
of
fresh
water
is,
or
is
becoming,

Sludges:
driving
a
problem
to
an
opportunity
 Sludge as a result of the water depuration process is
commonly deemed as a problem, as rubbish that needs a
place where to be buried, causing environmental problems
itself
 Thanks to our technologies and capabilities, we consider
sludge as a valuable energy resource
 We are able to produce energy from sludge indeed,
gaining two outturns:
 huge reduction of sludge quantity that has to be
treated
 energy production
