Grey water recycling and reuse has many benefits but also poses some risks if not done properly. Treated grey water can be used for applications that don't require drinking water quality, such as toilet flushing and irrigation, in order to reduce fresh water usage. However, precautions must be taken to ensure the treated grey water is hygienically safe and not a source of odors or contamination. Separate plumbing is required for grey water and factors like the treatment system used, existing infrastructure, and end use of the water must all be considered to safely implement grey water recycling.
Grey water treatment is removal of unwanted suspended material from the greywater collected and disinfecting the same to make it useful for toilet flushing or irrigation or discharging to sewer lines according to the local laws applicable.
Grey water systems presentation 6 18-2015 finalTony Green
The recent drought has prompted Governor Brown to enact
mandatory water restrictions for the first time in the history of the state of California. With no end to the drought in sight and the level of the state’s reservoirs being at their lowest levels in decades everyone will need to take steps to conserve this precious resource. Grey Water systems have recently been proposed as a method where home owners can help conserve water by using reclaimed
water produced by laundry, sinks and bathtubs in non-potable applications such as irrigation or flushing toilets.
The Presentation includes grey water it is all wastewater that is discharged from a house, excluding black water, uses of waste water, various methods adopted to use grey water [i.g, irrigation, bathing , gardening etc.]

Phytorid Wastewater Treatment Technology- Decentralised & Ecosystem Based ...Nitin Kumar
Phytorid Wastewater Treatment Technology involves a constructed wetland exclusively designed for the treatment of municipal, urban, agricultural and industrial wastewater.
Presentation prepared for the course 'Sanitary Engineering' in Civil Engineering
This work aims to design a sustainable greywater system in household Kano state, Nigeria in order to minimize the amount of fresh water consumed for portable purposes and use the greywater for non-portable applications such as toilet flushing, landscape watering, etc.
Redox Environment B.V. at Winterswijk, The netherlands, has developped a total process for waterrecycling for municipal and office buildings, laoding stations, small municipalities,etc., etc,.
The study of the source of disposal is important because the amount of treatment required to be given to sewage depends very much upon the source of disposal, its quality, and capacity to tolerate the impurities present in the sewage effluents, without itself getting potentially polluted or becoming less useful.

This PowerPoint contains information about a water system that can be used to recycle grey water; it also explains the terms as like Water Supply, Sanitation, Water Hygiene and Waste Management...
this presentation is about the reuse of treated wastewater.Different application and technologies involved. I have also put four case studies taken from some journals mentioned.
well this was the presentation on cooling towers that i created for my own presentation. i thought to post it here if it could help any one. just let me know once if it helps any one
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device which extracts waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature.
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device which extracts waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of closed circuit dry cooling towers, rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air temperature.
Common applications include cooling the circulating water used in oil refineries, petrochemical and other chemical plants, thermal power stations and HVAC systems for cooling buildings. The classification is based on the type of air induction into the tower: the main types of cooling towers are natural draft and induced draft cooling towers.
Cooling towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures (as in the adjacent image) that can be up to 200 metres (660 ft) tall and 100 metres (330 ft) in diameter, or rectangular structures that can be over 40 metres (130 ft) tall and 80 metres (260 ft) long. The hyperboloid cooling towers are often associated with nuclear power plants,[1] although they are also used to some extent in some large chemical and other industrial plants. Although these large towers are very prominent, the vast majority of cooling towers are much smaller, including many units installed on or near buildings to discharge heat from air conditioning.

Smart use of Water and Energy in domestic householdsMrinmoy Majumder
This presentation proposes a new method to optimally utilize the water supplied to domestic households in such a manner that both water and energy used in running the supply pumps can be conserved. The proposed "sensor based network of sub-tanks" can help to reduce the wastage of sufficient amount of water and the introduction of purifier at the inlet can save energy which is otherwise wasted in over running a corroded water pump.
1. Grey Water
Recycling & Reuse
By
K.V. RAMAN
MANAGING DIRECTOR
NATURE HAS GIVEN US CLEAR & CLEAN WATER
LET US RETURN BACK THIS, AS WE RECEIVED IT!
2. WATER OF FACTS!
• GROWING POPULATION NEEDS MORE FRESH WATER
• INDUSTRIAL GROWTH – NEEDS MORE WATER
• AGRICULTURE GROWTH – NEEDS MORE WATER
• UNPREDICTABLE RAINFALL – WATER SCARCITY
• LESS GROUND WATER RECHARGE – WATER SCARCITY
• OVER DRAWING FROM GROUND WATER SOURCE
• POOR / CONTAMINATED GROUND WATER QUALITY –
HIGHER TREATMENT COST
• HIGH COST OF TANKER WATER – Rs.70/m3 ( location
dependent)
3. What will happen if we
don’t act now?
1. Threat to our existence!
2. Quality of life affected!
3. Threat to business !- e.g – Closure / Migration of
business/ Limitation of expansion / Higher Capex &
Opex
4. Limitation on agriculture growth for want of water!

7. Why Grey Water Recycling??
• Treated grey water will act as a substitute to those application
which do not require drinking water quality so directly it will
reduce & save fresh water requirement.
• Grey water recycling is not dependent on season or variability
of rainfall and as such is a continuous and a reliable water
resource.
• As the treated water is high in nutrient Content(i.e. Nitrogen,
Phosphorous) we can use it for irrigation purpose, so it will
lead to an increase in agricultural productivity.
• Grey water recycling will reduce load on Sewage treatment
plant therefore tangential benefit is there.
• Infiltration of treated Grey water will help to increase ground
water table level.
8. What are benefits of grey water recycling?
Water saving potential :
• Each person water requirement is 135-150 lit/day so grey water
generated will be about 72 lit/day. we can recycle about 60 lit/day
which cost around Rs.21/- . Each person can save Rs.21/- per day.
It will reduce water bill so financial saving on price of water.
• Environmental benefits :
• Reduction in generation of waste water will reduce potential of
environmental pollution.
• Reduction in surface and ground water pollution.
• Sustainable Development.
• Treated water is valuable resource for landscaping and plant
growth especially in arid climates(Low rainfall).
• It is rich in phosphorous, potassium, and nitrogen, making it a
good nutrient or fertilizer source for irrigation.
9. What is Grey water & its Source???
• Grey water is all wastewater that is discharged from a house,
excluding black water (Toilet Wastewater).
• It includes waste water from Showers, Bathtubs Sinks,
Kitchen, Floor Cleaning, Dishwashers, Laundry tubs&
Washing machines.
Low-load
Showers, bathtubs
hand washbasins
Grey Water
High-load
Kitchen (dish
washers),
washing machines
10. What Grey Water Contains??
• Grey water generation is dependent on living standard of people
& it’s a result of personal hygiene, detergents used, cosmetics
used as well as dirty cloths,.
• Grey water contain Soap, Shampoo, Toothpaste, Food scraps,
Cooking oils, Detergents and Hairs, Kitchen waste, water from
Floor Cleaning.
• Dishwashing & Floor cleaning mainly contain phosphorous ,
Sodium Bicarbonate.
• Kitchen waste contribute to Organic loading so increase in BOD
Load. 12.5 % Bathing
56 % Washing
Machine & floor
Cleaning
31 % Kitchen waste

13. What are the Factors Influencing Grey Water Reuse??
• Budget: It is dependent on which type of treatment we are
providing. It may vary from low cost to expansive treatment.
• Existing plumbing: Grey water & Black water collection
pipes should be separate.
• Existing garden area: Availability of space & choice of plant
is main aspect to calculate watering requirement.
• Elevation of garden beds: if Garden bed is having slope then
we can directly through gravitational force use treated water
for gardening if not then we have to go for some extra units
like pipe n pumps.
• Storage :We can have ready made tanks for storage of raw
grey water.
• Space : Sufficient space should be available to install plant.
14. How do I collect Grey water??
• Identification of water : Separation of the drinking water ,
grey water ,Black water pipes and clear labeling of the taps
and devices should be there for reuse.
• Diversions systems : Grey water can not be stored more than
24 hour. It has to be treated through filtration & disinfection.
15. What is Grey water reuse concept??
• Safety & Hygiene : Treated grey water should be hygienically
Safe i.e. absence of E-Coil bacterial and viruses.
• Identification : Separate Grey water Plumbing & Labeling
should be there and avoid cross connection between drinking
water and grey water.
• Segregation between low & High Strength : Water from
baths, showers and hand washbasin which is less polluted
should be collected separately from high concentrated kitchen
waste & washing machines
• Direct reuse : We can use low concentrated grey water
directly for Toilet Flushing & Irrigation
• Treatment system: Grey water treatment should be Simple,
Low Cost & Ecofriendly & Reliable and easy to operate and
maintain

How to install Grey water treatment system?
22. What are the precautionary care one should
take while using treated grey water?
Health aspects:
• System overload should be avoided.
• Less polluted grey water sources such as from showers,
bath tubs and hand washbasins should be preferred for
treatment and reuse over kitchen or laundry grey water
• Grey water should not be stored but used immediately
or within 24 hours
• When used for gardening, grey water should be applied
to the subsurface to avoid any contact with the grey
water.
• Grey water should not be applied to fruits and
vegetables that are eaten raw.
• When used to water the garden or for irrigation, no
sprinklers should be used
