3 Global Warming Climate Change & Water Mismanagement S O L U T I O N S F O R L I F E Atlantis has the Solutions Cities are becoming more impermeable and experiencing three dimension desertification. We are draining the water and the life away from the cities which are becoming hot during the day and cold during the night. Impermeability contributes to water contamination, flooding and global warming. Atlantis has the Solutions Atlantis Water Management found solutions for many ancient environmental problems, providing a revolutionary vision and practical solution for more than 27 years. A simpler way to make ecological cities. Making cities environmentally sustainable and healthier to live in. At Atlantis we are helping to restore the environment regardless of how big the job is. The enviro-remediation is basically that by changing the impermeable surfaces to permeable ones and allowing the harvested rainwater to be used again. Trees and plants will do their job like nature intended, and by so doing, repairing the ozone layer, reduce global warming and managing water in a sustainable way. Atlantis makes all this possible for a fast recovery of the planet.. Roman technologies owe the environment an apology. -Humberto Urriola -

Elimination of city floods Atlantis provides solutions that mimic the water cycle of nature incorporating innovative technologies and systems for current living standards. Atlantis Water Management systems have been developed to provide a method of source management: by providing temporary water storage for recycling by providing a purification unit from roof areas to infiltrate clean stormwater or recycle it back into back into the ground. to eliminate of water run off. 7. The modular nature of Atlantis Stormwater Management systems means that they can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of each site. They can be used to provide temporary storage, attenuation and infiltration capacity for run-off for all sizes and types of site: from individual houses up to the largest commercial developments. The systems comprise: permeable paving, subsoil horizontal blankettype water saving water carriers and storage/infiltration systems 8. Individual polypropylene modules assembled together to form an underground structure are used for stormwater storage or as a soakawaypurification unit. 6.

Reduction in Global warming Beautiful landscape gardens on rooftops, podiums and in city areas reduce the overall heat generated by conventional concrete cities. Reduces Green House Effect and Protects Ozone Layer. The accession of toxic chemicals from car exhausts and industry is significantly reduced through the thermal reduction of the city by rooftop gardens and landscaping. Purifies Air. The increase of vegetation in urban areas provides a sink for Carbon.

12 S O L U T I O N S F O R L I F E Environmental Medium Density Building The environmental medium density building design is a concept by Humberto Urriola, for a Spanish project in the arid Madrid area. The solution on this occasion was to utilize the existing natural ground levels and build the initial development on suspended concrete slabs with the intention of giving the resident a natural environment and at the same time, reduce summer heat and in winter, regulate the temperature. In this case the total surface area is dedicated to gardens, from roofs to podiums. These green areas will immediately give a large number of benefits to the residents and to the city as a whole. Environmentally, 100% of the rainfall will be collected and the excess rainwater stored and recycled on site, eliminating at the same time, all contamination produce by surface run off. Internal roads and car parks would be situated below the concrete slab and the surface dedicated to nature and people. Medium density environmental building over car park

18 S O L U T I O N S F O R L I F E Water Sensitive Road Design The Atlantis road system is the first genuine advance in managing surface run-off in more than 2000 years. The Atlantis system can solve the most difficult environmental problems in a simplistic manner. The water is captured, purified, stored and can be made available for re-use. The Atlantis system also provides a strong, permeable structure, that can capture and manage water along the length of the system. The Atlantis road system reduces thermal contamination (from reflected heat) up to 17 0 C in relation to the conventional road methods. In cold areas, permafrost penetration is reduced.

19 Atlantis Ecological Roads Atlantis Road Stormwater Treatment and Purification System Ecological roads and highways One of the most commonly occurring forms of environmental pollution is caused by stormwater run-off. In some cases the expansion of urban development has led to a sealing of up to 90% of the surfaces that trap and accumulate most pollutants which are transported in solution during rain periods and eventually contaminate waterways and oceans. Atlantis has developed permeable systems which capture and treat polluted storm water at the source. Part of the treatment process involves percolation and oxygenation through Atlantis systems.
