Overview of greywater reuse: the potential of greywater systems to aid sustainable water management

The report Overview of Greywater Reuse: the Potential of Greywater Systems to Aid Sustainable Water Management analyzes how, as a key strategy that reduces demand, greywater reuse can improve the resilience of water systems to the impacts of climate change. It also serves as a relatively secure or drought-resistant source of water supply because presumably greywater generated from showers and washing machines will continue, if at a reduced rate. And in helping displace demand for water, greywater reuse can help reduce conflicts over water and reduce the demand for new water supply projects as a result of climate change.
