Urban drought buster (UDB)
Chris
This project was inspired by witnessing first hand the water wastage created by the domestic washing machine. The need was established as being a system whereby grey water (this is the water from washing and showering, not from toilets) could be better managed at a household level, instead of simply being drained away. The student decided to tackle this need by designing and producing a collection and management system for grey water for use in residential areas. In this way, water could effectively be recycled and used again for the garden.
