Combat water scarcity by reviving greywater.

Combat water scarcity by reviving greywater

In India, an urban family of four generates around 480 litres of greywater in a day. This greywater flows into freshwater resources or is untreated and reused for agricultural purposes. Restoring greywater for urban and rural usage can significantly reduce water scarcity and prevent waterborne diseases in the country.
Greywater treatment in India
Greywater generated by Indian families accounts for 50% to 80% of wastewater.
50%-80%
Around 80% of greywater that is generated by households goes untreated.
80%
Waterborne diseases spread through polluted and untreated water sources.
30%-50%

Challenges and complicated

When matters get concerns in 

When matters get water treatment

Greywater treatment in India is limited by certain factors, like the lack of the right infrastructure, regulation, and funding. There is neither enough awareness about the need for greywater treatment nor is there acceptance for lesser-known methods. Government and private organisations need to step up and tackle these issues.

Inadequate infrastructure

Many areas in India lack the infrastructure needed to effectively and sustainably treat greywater.

Regulatory weaknesses

There are no strict rules and laws regarding restoring and treating greywater. Tackling this issue requires coordinated efforts at a local and national scale.

Raising awareness for reuse

People aren’t aware that treating greywater can address the concern of water scarcity. Public awareness campaigns are essential to highlight this issue.

Funding shortages

The issue of greywater treatment doesn’t receive enough allocation of funds to treat the problem effectively.

Adaptability and scalability

Floating gardens can be adapted and scaled to different environments, making them versatile for various water bodies

Habitat creation

These gardens provide habitats for aquatic organisms, promoting biodiversity and aiding in pollutant breakdown

How Floating Gardens can effectively treat greywater

01

Maximising treatment efficiency

Floating Gardens are a natural and energy-efficient addition to traditional greywater treatment.
02

Removes pollutants naturally

As greywater passes through, the plants absorb the pollutants, leaving the water cleaner than when it passed through.
03

Restoring aquatic ecosystems

Floating Gardens can absorb the excess nutrients from the water, preventing algal bloom. Oxygen depletion is reduced, and the aquatic ecosystem is allowed to thrive.
04

Breaking down with biofilms

Microbes and bacteria help break down organic matter and pathogens into biofilms under the surface, thus helping reduce the risk of waterborne diseases.
05

Enable smooth passage of water

The buoyant wetlands help trap substances and particulate matter in greywater enabling the free flow of water.
