Basically, they added three quantities:
the consumption of rainwater (the so - called green water footprint); the use of ground - and surface water (blue); and the volume of gray water polluted (and therefore depleted).
For this reason, this type
of rainwater harvesting system is particularly recommendable in districts with high population densities, such as (in Barcelona) Sants, Verdun, Sagrada Família, Sant Antoni or el Guinardó, whose
consumption of resources per m3 is up to 40 % lower than that
of districts like Pedralbes, Sarrià, la Clota, el Bon Pastor, Vall d'Hebron or Vallvidrera.
