Greywater treatment technologies

Greywater treatment technologies refer to systems designed to treat wastewater generated from everyday activities, such as showering, washing dishes, and doing laundry. Unlike blackwater, which comes from toilets and contains harmful pathogens, greywater is less polluted and can often be recycled. Treatment methods include filtration, biological processes, and ultraviolet light to remove contaminants. After treatment, the cleaned greywater can be reused for irrigation, flushing toilets, or other non-potable purposes, helping to conserve fresh water and reduce environmental impact. These technologies are important for sustainable water management, especially in areas facing water scarcity.
