DEFINITION
Used water from your bathroom sinks, showers, tubs, and washing machines. It is not water that has come into contact with feces, either from the toilet or from washing diapers. It contain traces of dirt, food, grease, hair, and certain household cleaning products. It may look “dirty,” but it is a safe and even beneficial source of irrigation water in a yard.
BENEFITS
Keep in mind that if greywater is released into rivers, lakes, or estuaries, its nutrients become pollutants, but to plants, they are valuable fertilizer. Aside from the obvious benefits of saving water (and money on your water bill), reusing your greywater keeps it out of the sewer or septic system, thereby reducing the chance that it will pollute local water bodies.
THE SYSTEM
Basically, the grey water is collected through a piping system. Then, the collected water will be irrigated to the nearby yard to plant the trees through a pipe.
SCHOOL INITIATIVE
The greywater recycling system has been installed at the school canteen. The greywater used for cleaning raw materials are channeled to the plant outside through a long pipe.
