Sustainability in Utilities

- minimisation of external inputs and outputs

Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. 

Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations.

Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment.

Managers must take the concepts of sustainability and synthesize them with the concepts of management. Sustainability has three branches: the environment, the needs of present and future generations and the economy. 

Using these branches, (s)he must create sustainable practices to keep a system running indefinitely without depleting resources whilst maintaining economic viability and nourishing the needs of the present and future generations.
