Conclusions and recommendation<br />
While traditional engineering approaches (often referred as grey infrastructure) without question yields<br />
immediate benefits in addressing a target water problem, results suggest that typically incur higher fixed<br />
costs, often outstrip the technical capacity of many nations to operate and maintain them, and in many cases<br />
destroy the environmental systems (green infrastructure, ranging from wilderness to managed or protected<br />
watersheds) that serve as the foundation or source for renewable water supplies. A new, ‘blended<br />
engineering’, combining traditional grey with green (ecosystem-inspired) approaches represents an<br />
important opportunity space within the overall sustainable development agenda.<br />
