WHOLE WATER SYSTEMS - Key Persons


David Venhuizen

Job Titles:
  • Principal Engineer / Austin, TX
David has been a passionate promoter of holistic, integrated water management concepts for over two decades. His work started with "waste" water, for which he formulated a "decentralized concept" of management advocating that the most cost effective and efficient approach is to treat water as close to it use as possible - and to reuse the resource to the maximum extent feasible. David favors robust and modular technologies, such as recirculating biofilters and constructed wetlands, well suited to a variety of applications from small scale residential to master planned communities. Venhuizen's focus also includes stormwater management - especially the use of Low-Impact Development strategies, a "decentralized concept of stormwater management" - and rainwater harvesting as both water supply and stormwater management strategies. David is a tireless champion of the concept that water resource management should be integrated and that water is a resource to be husbanded rather than a nuisance to be sent "away".
