Greywater Reuse examines the features and implications of greywater reuse scientifically, quantitatively, and thoroughly. Based on the authors’ extensive studies of treatment facilities in urban and rural environments, development of greywater treatment systems, and research of potential environmental and health risks posed by greywater at different treatment levels, this authoritative text:

- Describes the chemical, physical, and microbial properties of greywater

- Covers the treatment and removal of greywater pollutants, providing case studies of common methods

- Identifies the risks involved in greywater use and proposes regulatory measures to help reduce these risks

- Reviews the greywater management strategies, policies, and legislation of several different countries

- Discusses the prevailing public perception and willingness to adopt various uses of greywater

- Analyzes the economic impact of greywater reuse from both the consumer and national perspectives

Greywater Reuse addresses all major aspects related to greywater reuse, making it a valuable resource for a variety of applications.
