Introduction to Greywater Management EcoSanRes Fact Sheet 8 EcoSanRes (2005)
The aim of the report is to give a comprehensive description of the main components in successful greywater management. The system perspective is emphasized, i.e. to prevent pollution by measures at the point of origin as well as using appropriate techniques for purifying water with the endeavour to reuse it or return it to nature in a responsible way.
Examples as well as recommendations are given for designing and dimensioning treatment systems. It should be stressed that there is still little knowledge and experience of greywater treatment in urban areas and in different climates. Most experiences are from cold climate regions, but the rapid ongoing development in ecosan throughout the world will probably bring about a lot of new insights in the field in the coming years.
