Hopital cantonnal, zone sud; toiture végétalisée In 1973, it has been decided to install green roofs on new buildings of the southern area of the Hospital City in Geneva. The aim was first to rebuild a biotope which had disapeared in the urban area; architects became aware of the benefits that green roofs could provide on water retention only later, in 1989.

An integrated approach towards assessing the feasibility of domestic rainwater harvesting in Malta This paper explores the potential of small scale domestic rainwater harvesting on the island of Malta by taking an integrated look at the physical, social, and economic environments. It explores the extent to which domestic rainwater harvesting has been forgotten despite the fact of it being embedded within Malta†™s history for centuries. The study closely examines the cost-effectiveness of this technology both at a local and national scale and teases out the hurdles that have brought about its rejection by means of residential and water professional interviews. Domestic rainwater harvesting in Malta
Non Conventional Water Resources Programme in Malta (Alter Aqua) The Maltese Islands have limited freshwater resources and depend heavily on desalination. Therefore there is an evident need to mobilise non conventional Water Resources (NCWR) in order to secure water availability and facilitate sustainable development.
