What exactly is greywater?
Greywater is domestic wastewater that is free of faecal contamination and is created in homes, offices, and other structures. Showers, sinks, washing machines, and baths are all sources of greywater.
Greywater is safer to treat, handle, and reuse for landscape, toilet flushing, crop irrigation, and other uses since it contains less pathogens than domestic wastewater.
What is the best way to deal with greywater?
It is best managed in areas where greywater is produced. If greywater is allowed to gather and stagnate, it can become a serious infrastructural and management burden.
