from the German Energy and Water Industry Association. Weyand is an economist and manager for the Association’s Water and Sewage Department. DW-TV: There is money to be made with sewage. Let’s pull in Martin Weyand with the German Association of Energy and Water Industries. Why not just clean up all the world's sewage ? Would we then have enough clean water for everyone? Martin Weyand: The supply in the world depends just on the sources we have. We must look at how the resources are distributed all over the world.

If you look at the US, there's an average per capita consumption of 600 liters a day. So it makes sense to save water and reach a standard like in Germany. DW-TV: Can you explain to us how someone can consume 600 liters of water a day? Martin Weyand: If you look at the standard of living...like a pool or other constructions using water t...
