Grey Water

Grey water comprises 50-80% ofresidential waste water! 
It is water that has been used for bathing,showers, dishwashing, and laundry (It excludes sewage)

A grey water system is especiallyimportant in drought areas. 

The added bonus is that muchless water enters the sewage treatment plants.

Phosphate rich soaps and cleanersin your grey water are really pollutants.  They accelerate algae growth inour waterways, which eventually leads to oxygen depletion for fish and marinelife.

Luckily, these same"pollutants" are nutrition when you use your grey water forirrigation of fruit trees, landscaping plants and garden beds.

A very informative book forinstalling systems is "The New Create an Oasis with Grey water" byArt Ludwig.  It will help building professionals and homeowners to workwithin building codes to include grey water systems in new construction or remodeling.

When you consider the amount ofwater we are talking about, this could be one of the most advantageousimprovements you could do for a greener environment.
