The water cycle is affected by climate change and unsustainable consumption habits that threaten our sense of security, especially in industrialized nations.
According to the United Nations, if we continue at the current rate, global warming is likely to reach 1.5 °C between 2030 and 2052.
Therefore, within the 2030 goals at the global level, several industries have committed themselves to establishing sustainable water management, and the construction sector is one of them.
Within the field of construction, there are several tools aimed at optimizing the reuse of resources, especially water, in addition to reducing costs and mitigating environmental impact.
These systems aim to provide a comprehensive vision for decision-making throughout the life cycle of projects, promoting sustainability.
These are the sustainability certifications for the construction industry:
The National Water Resources Management System (SNGRH) is a platform that brings together all government entities and users involved in water management. The purpose of the SNGRH is to coordinate the actions of its members under the supervision of the National Water Authority.
This seeks to ensure the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the National Water Resources Policy and Strategy, as well as the National Water Resources Plan.
