2. 2. RECYCLING Recycled water, is former wastewater that is treated to remove solids and
certain impurities, and used in sustainable landscaping irrigation or to recharge groundwater
aquifers. Recycled water can be use for agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial
processes, toilet flushing, and to recharge ground water basins.
3. 3. USE OF RECYCLED WATER Agriculture Landscape Public parks Golf course
irrigation Cooling water for power plants and oil refineries Processing water for mills,
plants Toilet flushing Dust control Construction activities Concrete mixing Artificial
lakes
4. 4. REUSE Water reuse describes the process whereby wastewater treated to an
appropriate standard, is reused for a variety of beneficial purposes. The treated water ready
to be reused is termed recycled or reclaimed water.
5. 5. TYPE OF WASTEWATER FOR REUSE Greywater Bathroom, washbasin, laundry, kitchen
waste Blackwater Toilet flushing toilet flushing clothes washing gardening suitable only for
outdoor use i.e. groundwater recharge, fountains
6. 6. REUSE OF GREYWATER
7. 7. GREYWATER TREATMENT The treatment may be biological, chemical or mechanical.
The qualities of treated water they produce can vary considerably, as well as their energy
consumption and initial cost.
8. 8. DISINFECTION Disinfection is required for indoor re-use of greywater, which requires
regular maintenance. Chlorine is most commonly used for disinfection. However, it has
adverse environmental impacts. Alternatives disinfectant can be ultraviolet (UV) or ozone.

10. 10. ADVANTAGES Use less water resources. Irrigate your gardens during drought water
restrictions. Cut down the amount of pollution going into our waterways. Help save
money on new infrastructure for water provision and wastewater treatment.
11. 11. ISSUES Reusing greywater for washing clothes may cause discoloration of clothing
due to dissolved organic material. This can be avoided by installing an activated carbon filter.
It cannot be stored untreated for longer than a few hours as it begins to turn septic and
smell. It can contain significant numbers of pathogens which spread disease. The mode
of living in home i.e. holiday home that have intermittent use
12. 12. ISSUES Seasonal variation in generation of wastewater In order to re-use greywater
indoors for toilet flushing and clothes washing you will need to firstly: Separate greywater
and blackwater waste streams. Install a greywater treatment and disinfection Financial
cost of installing and maintaining a re-use system
13. 13. REDUCE Take a short shower Use appropriate shower head Wash full load for
laundry Regular maintenance and repairing of water leakages Choose recycled product
Avoid using dishwasher Water the lawn early in the morning Avoid using running tap in
wash basin while brushing and shaving Avoid unnecessary flushing
14. 14. REDUCTION OF WASTEWATER IN INDUSTRIES Key steps of Wastewater
Management Step 1: Analyze manufacturing processes; gain an understanding of how
wastewater is produced. Step 2: Develop a pollution prevention program based on the gained
knowledge from analyzing the manufacturing process. Step 3: Choice of candidate treatment
technology for proper process control and waste minimization.
