Eco-efficient Infrastructure
Eco-efficiency
The dominant paradigm of centralized infrastructure development depended on
exploitation of natural resources.
unsustainable
A fundamental shift in the management and use of resources is required.
Eco-efficiency
Eco-efficiency = economic efficiency + ecological efficiency
It means creating more goods and services with ever less use of resources while creating less waste and pollution.
Eco-efficient Water InfrastructureTowards Sustainable Urban Development and Green Economy
Eco-efficient Water Infrastructure
It can be defined as an integrated approach in water infrastructure
development to achieve ecological and economic efficiency.
It represents a paradigm change of water resource management to a more holistic strategy based on
multiple objectives and balancing ecosystem services, economic
development and human welfare.
For Indonesia, it is referred to as Eco-Sustainable Water
Infrastructure
