Consider the systems shown in Figure 16.12. 

Figure 16.12:

Answer the following questions. 

1. What are the intervention, technology, ecology, and management matrices for this system? 

2. The total final demand for this system is 100 kWh of electricity. Develop the A_te m_te = ƒ_te matrix for this situation. 

3. Knowing that the ecosystems represent all the land available for each process, calculate the sustainability metrics for H₂O and CO₂. Are the facilities locally sustainable? 

4. Suggest possible interventions that could be made to improve the sustainability of these facilities.
