Hydroikos Ltd. is a consulting firm founded with the goal of helping
clients to find sustainable, ecosystem-based solutions to water resource and
environmental problems. Ecosystem-based management contrasts with a
single-valued, single-product approach to the management of natural resources,
which often fails to recognize the complex web of connections sustaining the
economic values that we obtain from the natural world. Ecosystem-based
management recognizes the enormous complexity of natural systems, and
acknowledges that our understanding of this complexity is incomplete. It also
recognizes that human institutions and economies are closely coupled with
natural ecosystems.
Our name is a combination of the Greek words for "water" and
"household"; "oikos" is the root word of both "ecology" and
"economics". |
