Recent ecological disasters make human beings aware of changes in the Earth's climate.

Pollution of soils and waters by human activities is an important and widespread problem.

A central asset of eco-efficiency analysis is that it does not depend on a specific evaluation of environmental impacts against economic effects, avoiding the often disputed results of neo-classical evaluation methods.

Groundwater constitute the most important reservoir of available clean water.
