It discusses the technologies and equipment necessary for graywater reuse systems, known maintenance, and best management practices to ensure safe reuse of graywater. Guidance is presented on the steps necessary to determine whether a graywater reuse system is applicable to an individual’s situation and discusses reuse goals, including methods for calculating the amount of graywater that is generated from a home or office. Also included is information on source separation, plumbing, storage, equipment, irrigation, and toilet reuse applications. Published by WERF. 160 pages. Soft cover and online PDF. (2011)
