摘要:The present research aims to evaluate the benefits of new urban water management strategies.In this sense, the urban conditions and the water consume habits of medium sized Spanish cities have been studied.Through the use of the large flat roof surfaces existing in medium density areas, it is possible to include industrialized phytodepuration systems which reduce the drinkable water consume and diminish the volume of waste water that is daily discharged to the sewerage network.The research shows that more than 30% of potable water is being used in domestic uses that doesn´t require this quality.The use of the proposal can reach savings up to 59% in comparison with the current water management model.
