Sustainable infrastructure for water care

2022 Aug 24

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2025 about 7 out of 10 people worldwide will be in a situation of water scarcity. To guarantee universal access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030, the United Nations proposes Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG): Clean water and sanitation.

 

At Marhnos, we know well that the development of sustainable infrastructure is essential for the preservation of water and we have created projects that seek the proper use and care of this vital liquid.

 

One of the most outstanding is the Tlalnepantla Regional Hospital of ISSEMyM, the first health center in Mexico to receive the LEED Silver certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The Hospital has its own wastewater treatment plant that allows the treated water to be used for irrigation of green areas and supply of low-consumption bathroom furniture; this has generated savings of 50% in drinking water compared to conventional buildings.

 

Another example is the ecological facade of the LIVIX housing complex, located in Nuevo Polanco in Mexico City, made of titanium dioxide that, among other things, creates a thin film that drags dirt from the more than 4,550 square meters of tile and saves water for cleaning.

 

In other of our social infrastructure projects and housing developments, we have 20 wastewater treatment plants, with a capacity of 25,560 liters per hour, as well as two absorption wells that filter 20 cubic meters of water into the ground. 

 

As leaders in the real estate and infrastructure sector, we create projects focused on the rational and adequate use of water, we contribute to the sustainable development of the country; to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity without compromising the resources of future generations.

 

The proper use of water is essential for sustainable development, with actions for its care we contribute to ensuring prosperity without compromising the resources of future generations.
