| Description |
In India, the per capita water availability is reducing day by day due to rapid growth in population and
increasing water demand. Greywater treatment and reuse is one of the feasible options in developing
countries like India to overcome this problem. A greywater collection, treatment and reuse system was
designed and implemented in an urban household having a water requirement of 165 liter per capita
per day (lpcd) and a greywater generation rate of 80 lpcd. An upflow–downflow greywater treatment
plant having a screening, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection as major treatment processes was
constructed and treated greywater is used for toilet flushing and to irrigate the vegetables in the backyard
of the household. Greywater characterisation indicates that COD and BOD are sufficiently reduced during
the treatment and there is also substantially reduction in Escherichia coli count. The payback period of
this greywater treatment and reuse system is estimated to be 1.6 year.
