German term or phrase: prozessnahe Wasserkreislaufschliessung
From the same text on sustainable development:

Das Ergebnis: umweltschonende Produktion bei gleichzeitiger Kostensenkung, zum Beispiel durch prozessnahe Wasserkreislaufschliessung mittels Membrantechnik oder dem Einsatz von nachwachsenden Betriebs- und Hilfsstoffen.

Any ideas anyone?

Explanation:
They are speaking of ways to control the hydrologic cycle using diaphragms. The hydrologic cycle consists of inflows, outflows, and storage. Inflows add water to the different parts of the hydrologic system, while outflows remove water. Storage is the retention of water by parts of the system. Because water movement is cyclical, an inflow for one part of the system is an outflow for another.

Controlling the cycle or the Wasserkreislauf (which is represented by a loop) using artificial means (as in your sentence) would affect everyting, including costs.

I would altogether ignore prozessnah since it\'s inherent in the sentence and suggest the ff:

\"...simultaneous cost minimization, for example, by controlling the hydrologic cycle using diaphragm technology or...

Explanation:
prozessnah IMO here means inherent to the (production) process

so the sentence bit could read: \"...e.g. through provision/implementation of in-process closed water circulation/circuit by means of ... and use of...\"

process-conformant closure of the water circulation cycle


Explanation:
circuit does not sound right where liquids are concerned. Generally referred to as circulation systems.
