Hi Rhys
You can assume that infrastructure for greywater management on Saibai does not exist, with the exception of some very limited systems in some homes.
All greywater enters the sewer network for treatment, which represents an opportunity for students to explore ways to harness these sources for usage and thereby reducing the reliance on the precious potable supply.
Things to consider
– What is the infrastructure required to redirect greywater from plumbing before it enters the sewer? Will this be a costly exercise?
– Holding tanks and distribution lines?
– Are you just looking at domestic bathroom and laundry?
– Would you need basic filters to remove lint and hair?
– Where could grey water be used, that considers Saibai Islander’s needs?
Good luck!
