Principles of sustainability as related to water
• Ecosystems use sunlight as their main source of energy
• Ecosystems are built upon interrelationships not independence
• Ecosystems dispose of wastes and replenish nutrients by recycling
• Ecosystems, regulate the size of member populations
• Ecosystems, maintain (bio)diversity
