BUILDING SERVICES3Introduction Sustainable development principles are being applied to all new building projects andeven to refurbished building projects. The concern for scarce environmental resources isincreasing every day and thus the need for sustainable development has increased.

This sewage is mostly untreated and contains harmful toxicchemical substances that harm the ecosystem of the water bodies (Hung et al. 2015). Thepollutants even seep into the soil and affect the groundwater resource. Groundwater is theprimary source of drinkable water in many areas and thus its pollution will be affectingthe population living in and around Edleston Road.
