Hello. Thank you. What are your opinions on the following other ways to mitigate those risks:  - The stakeholders/states depleting/polluting water should be more liable for their actions for the next generations and pay heavy fines to be allocated for solving water issues.  Why  products not respecting the water exploitation index and other ecosystems requirements can often cheaper than responsible ones? - Water can be recycled/reused infinitelly and some wastewater have a higher value than water because of the demand/prices of the wastewater by-products such as energy, fertilisers, bio-cements .... so should we put a higher value on water or pay a high price for products ending in wastewater but not easy to be recycled? Thanks in advance for your answer,

To be fair a user pays scenario is necessary, the costs must be developed in parity to the resource carrying capacity.  The value proposition from the water-energy-biotech nexus translates into a driver for the capture of the resources which decrease the costs associated with the treatment process.  The water value should be relative to the carrying capacity of the source, less a value multiplier to encourage re-use.   The value proposition also opens up the opportunity for more public-private partnerships and funding via project finance models.  The added value of the elimination of the pollution is monetized by the alternative resource stream/s adding to the shift toward the desired outcome by the consumer in favor of the higher value from the more sustainable technology vs the higher cost typically required in the past.  Before now it seemed to always cost more to be green.  By utilizing utility integration and convergence in the planning and execution of the project the economic dynamic compared to comparable services delivered via the contemporary segregated utility functions is truly remarkable.  These are the reasons for the Aquagen Infrastructure Systems, Inc. Sustainable Village Systems package design.   Cheaper, Greener, Better, Saving the Planet with a higher standard of living for the community through a strong core circular economic dynamic.
