Abstract
Reuse of water has been a popular choice toward balancing water scarcity and managing water availability in defined areas. GW which can be defined as the wastewater that comprises water from baths, showers etc, when managed and treated properly could be valuable resource for sectors like agricultural and horticultural. GW is one of the best option if treated and if not, it will mix with the sewage stream. It is possible to intercept this GW at the household level using minimum change in design, and with the primary and secondary treatment it can be recycled for garden washing, flushing and many purposes. In the present work, GW from student accommodation were collected, characterized and treated through series of natural adsorbent. Various parameters such as TDS, pH, Turbidity, BOD,COD, amount of nitrate and phosphorus were measured and it was found that most of the parameters were considerably in range after treatment. A simple method has been proposed that may be applied at individual household level.
