1 AYALA Water & Ecology Sustainability experts 65

2 Who we are AYALA - 21 years of practical experience in the field of sustainable green solutions 66

3 Our vision Combining practical and economic solutions for a sustainable environment 67

4 Sustainability: Minimal human involvement and minimal use of fossil energy 68 Ampa Building, Tel Aviv

5 Our Core product: Natural Biological Systems (NBS) Complex and modular systems that provide efficient and sustainable purification for water, soil and air 69

6 The NBS rely on phytotechnology and make use range of natural elements Together the biological and physiological elements degrade, accumulate, extract, and volatilize contaminants of all kinds 70

7 Tailoring of the NBS Technology The NBS is applicable to practically all pollutant sources and in all climatic and environmental conditions. Each system is tailored to every case and its ecological conditions using local natural and human resources, is designed to withstand extreme fluctuation, and to last forever. Down to earth landscaping design is used to accommodate the systems to human, habitat and community needs. 71

8 The NBS is applied for a variety of contaminants of different sources Agricultural: High organic load, high nutrient levels, TP Industrial: Oil/Fats, hydrocarbons, emulsions, heavy metals, detergents, hormones Sanitary & Urban Sewage: BOD, detergents, oils and hydrocarbons Landfill: Heavy metals, oils, minerals, boron, nutrients, high salinity Lake and River rehabilitation: a wide variety of contaminants of different sources 72

11 Macro- Scale Solutions AYALA uses a variety of sustainable water management techniques, which allows us to focus not only on a localized solution, but rather on an entire city, watershed or ecosystem, and to create solutions that promote groundwater recharge, flood prevention and restoration of local flora and fauna. 75

12 Examples of Macro- Scale Solutions Plaine Du Var, France Campeche, Mexico Hyderabad, India 76

13 Var Valley, France In partnership with WEST8 Main issues to be confronted by team: Contamination and depletion of aquifers Occasional flooding Loss of local flora and fauna Localized air pollution 77

14 Macro - Scale Solution: Eco-Valley sustainable development 78

15 Storm & surface water buffers Water harvesting and infiltration to aquifer On-site sewage treatment as part of urban parks Redesign of river bed 79

16 The various water harvesting, purification and buffering applications are combined to form a greenbelt and an Eco-Trail: A continuous trail from the sea to the Alps through the Plaine du Var. Eco-Trail Greenbelt: 80

17 Hyderabad metropolis, India 81

18 On-site sustainable solutions Main issues : Heavy industrial and urban contamination Non-point source contamination Loss of local flora and fauna Localized air pollution Metal Industry, powder coatings, sewage and paints discharging into Nala river 82

19 Project in process83

20 City of Campeche, Mexico Major problems: Populated urban area Sewage mostly running in open canals Several small scale STP, not functioning Seasonal flooding 84

21 On-site sustainable solutions Working phases: Site survey Mapping of implementation sites regional application Adjustment and full scale operation Project in progress 85

22 Sustainability is Economic Sustainable water management reduces the cost of Infrastructure Maintenance Energy 86

23 Construction, O&M costs for wastewater treatment Construction costs of a NBS are 20% less than those of a conventional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) O&M costs of NBS are 8-15 c/m 3 O&M costs of a WWTP are c/m 3 not including treatment of sludge, which can be as high as 18-57% of operational costs (UN World Atlas of wastewater, 2008) 87

24 Area vs. Energy Technically, the constructed wetland systems require about twice as much land than mechanical systems. However, with increasing oil prices, the cost of energy is becoming a more significant factor Crude oil price (Dollars Per Barrel) The price of oil today is more than 40% more expensive than in 2003! /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/ /01/

25 Which one would you prefer to live next to? Conventional systems create dead space around them, effectively more than quadrupling the space they require for the plant 89
