What was the motivation behind the proposal?

SLIDE 5

71 % sufrace of

the planet is covered with water

the most

common substance

n earth.

Water is everywhere

SLIDE 6

Water is a finite source

SLIDE 7

Water is the main costituent of living

rganisms:

70 - 85 wt. % of human weight – the most important nutrition

SLIDE 8

Tree: 75 wt. % of water

SLIDE 9

Earth salt water (97 %) : fresh water (3 %)

SLIDE 10

Some facts about fresh water

70 % of this fresh water is actually frozen in the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland. Of all the water on the earth, humans can used only about 0.3 % of this water. Such usable water is found in groundwater aquifers, rivers, and freshwater lakes.

SLIDE 11

If all the world's water were fit into a gallon jug, the fresh water available for us to use would equal only about one tablespoon.

4.5 litres

increased for 0,85 °C.

The world’s ever growing population is putting more and more strain on the fresh water supply.

In Slovenia we have an exceptional abundance of water

Privatization of water sources: 17 out of 29 boreholes belonging to our food production industry have passed into the hands of foreign

wners.

The level of grounwater in Slovenia has been geting lower since 1984, and the quality of water has also been reduced. But- how long will it last?

Sustainable water treatment

reduction in the needs

for water,

use of renewable

sources of water,

efficient use of water.

SLIDE 20

Aim of the RusaLCA project

1. To reduce the consumption of water obtained from

natural sources by up to 30 % - using remediated water from small biological wastewater treatment plant in Šentrupert

2. To establish of a protocol about the use of solid

waste obtained from that plant, and from nano- remediation tanks, in different types of composites for use in the construction industry.

3. To disseminate of knowledge and good practice

among the technical and lay public.
