Wastewater reuse for revegetation and permaculture in arid lands

Abstract
The reuse of ‘greywater’ or sullage, effluent from bathroom and laundry, is currently not permitted in Australia but is widely supported by the community, promoted by researchers, and improvised by up to 20% of householders. Its widespread implementation will make an enormous contribution to the sustainability of water resources. Integration with other strategies in the outdoor living environment of settlements in arid lands will derive great benefit. This paper describes five options for greywater reuse under research by the Remote Area Developments Group (RADG) at Murdoch University and case studies are given where productive use is being made for revegetation and food production strategies. Pollution control techniques and maintenance requirements are described. The case of remote Aboriginal communities is explained.
