Description[?]:
| Isabella Descanzi, LP: "I would like propose to introduce different range of standards depending by the use of the water. In fact, why demand that all the water shall be drinkable regardless its use? It is a waste of energy and time for example demand that the water used in usines or other industrial installation are drinkable. Furthermore we can introduce a grey water regulation, with which the wastewater generated by not toiltet usage, which is safer to handle and could be easier to treat, could be reused onsite for toilet flushing, heat reclamation landscape or crop irrigation, and other non-potable uses, practices which can save high quantity of fresh water. The application of greywater reuse in urban water systems in fact furthermore provide substantial benefits for both the water supply subsystem by reducing the demand for fresh clean water as well as the wastewater subsystems by reducing the amount of wastewater required to be conveyed and treated. The separate treatment of greywater falls also under the concept of source separation which is one principle commonly applied in ecological sanitation approaches. But it is not all! The demand on conventional water supplies and pressure on sewage treatment systems is reduced by the use of greywater. Re-using greywater also reduces the volume of sewage effluent entering watercourses which can be ecologically beneficial. In times of drought, especially in urban areas, greywater use in gardens or toilet systems helps to achieve some of the goals of ecologically sustainable development. Thank you" |
