Introduction to Greywater Systems - Self Study

One way to responsibly reuse water which is growing in popularity is through greywater systems. Greywater is water that has already been used in your home or in a building. It comes from showers, sinks and washing machines. In most places, this water is immediately dumped down the drain and wasted, but it doesn't have to be that way. Greywater can be a perfectly good source of irrigation water, or it could be used to flush toilets.

When you reuse greywater, you're getting a double use of your water. You use it once inside your home, and then you can use it again outside to irrigate your landscape. In dry climates or places experiencing drought, greywater is a very valuable resource. It can help keep landscapes lovely and productive, even during times of water shortages.
