In the last two decades, to address Climate change and develop ways to face the more frequent droughts, the Australian Government has developed water quality standards to allow for increase water reuse and better water management in domestic and commercial applications.
With the help of these standards, considerable amount of water savings can be achieved especially in commercial applications. There is no doubt that the construction industry standard must evolve to incorporate better ways of managing our precious water resources.
Since 2004, The Greyflow Systems, has been actively involved in the development of new water treatment technologies to achieve increase greywater capture and reuse.
The presentation will cover Australian & international Greywater reuse standards, various Domestic & Commercial applications, as well as the various technologies that have been developed and trialled in the past 20 years.
