Natural Systems Utilities is a market leader in developing and deploying innovative, sustainable on-site water infrastructure. Our systems are designed to preserve the quality and quantity of available freshwater supplies through careful stewardship, effective treatment, and appropriate reuse. NSU’s designs are inspired by natural processes in which outputs of one ecological community become essential inputs for another system. Our core treatment systems are biologically complex and mechanical simple. We use an expert decision algorithm to determine the most sustainable trade-offs among land availability, energy inputs, and mechanical complexity. In all cases, NSU’s overall utility designs allow for optimum recovery and reuse of water, nutrients, and energy from wastewater and rain catchment. We redeploy these resources to improve soil ecologies, restore habitat, and reduce energy use and carbon footprint.
