Quality Testing of Raw and Filtered Grey-water Emerging from Kitchen Sink: A Case Study

Abstract

The limited freshwater supplies in arid regions have created alternative water management strategies. Data indicates that grey-water generation varies from 39-85% in various countries. Grey-water treatment and reuse can be a helpful nonpotable water source for toilet draining, watering gardens, car and floor washing, etc. Treated grey-water should be clean, hygienic, environment-friendly and cost-effective. The goal of this research is (i) to test the parameters of raw grey-water (ii) create a filter bed (iii) test parameters of treated grey-water (iv) Compare the parameters of raw and treated grey-water (v) describe the area of use.
