Resumen:

The Sustainability Stations is a project focused in solving Mexico City's problem of lack of water and floods. Both situations are related to the water extraction from the soil water table, which represents 71% the principal source of the city's water supplement. The extraction of the water causes many settlement throughout the city producing the city's flooding, so the sewerage network cannot maintain the necessary slope for the eviction of the waste water. The main purpose of the project will be the water harvesting in order to avoid water table extraction for supply. The raining season varies through the year and for this reason, the project needs combines other recycling functions in which will let the facilities to operate thought out the whole year. By adapting other recycling program will allow to concentrate the labors in the non-raining periods. The use selected was one that also will also benefit the city, which is the recollection of the material that is used for packing like; paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and aluminium. This recyclable waste material will be collected, cleaned, compacted and prepared to be transferred to proper recyclable facilities for proper reuse. The paper will be the only waste material which will be recycled in the Station because it's technological process is easy in comparison with the others and doesn't represent a risk for the water harvesting.
