Greywater for reuse

The section of the recycled water website provides information on greywater use both in Australia and Internationally.

Please note that:

1. In this website we refer to greywater as wastewater from the hand basin, shower, bath, spa bath, washing  machine, laundry tub, kitchen sink and dishwasher. 
2. Water from the kitchen is generally too high in grease and oil to be reused successfully without significant  treatment. 
3. Greywater can also be referred to as graywater, gray water or grey water.

Use of greywater for watering household gardens is seen as an increasingly important issue in todays climate.  Permanent water shortages  mean that  households have to consider issues of water availability and the water demands of their gardens. Using greywater is intended to be a sustainable solution to the water requirements of gardens.
