GREY WATER purification
“More than half of humanity will be living with water shortages, depleted fisheries and polluted coastlines within 50 years because of a worldwide water crisis, warns a United Nations report.
Waste and inadequate management of water are the main culprits behind growing problems, says the study, the most comprehensive of its kind.
The United Nations Environment Program, working with more than 200 water resource experts worldwide, has produced the report.”
"Tens of millions of people don't have access to safe water. It is indeed a crisis, "says the report.The wide-ranging report, part of the UN's designation of 2003 as the International Year of Freshwater, also documents problems such as steep drops in the size of Asia's Aral Sea, Africa's Lake Chad and Iraq's Marshlands; the deterioration of coral reefs; and the rise of coastal waters because of climate changes. Some developing nations could face water shortages, crop failures and conflict over shrinking lakes and rivers if nothing is done to prevent wasteful irrigation and slow evaporation from reservoirs, and drinking-water systems are not repaired.”
The report from the United Nations is self-explanatory. We are consuming water faster than the replenishment speed of the natural resources. It is estimated that the domestic water consumption is increasing at a rate of 4.2% Per annum. Of the water consumed domestically, more than 90% o the water is wasted and drains into the sewerages as adequate on-site water purification systems are available.

The cost of replenishment of water to our homes is a multi billion dollar exercise by various governmental and water board organizations.
Most of the water we consume and waste as grey water is subsidized. Due to the looming global shortages of water, the domestic water supply will perhaps be the most affected and people will feel the shortages of water very soon. Already, limited supplies, sometimes total disruption of water supply to our homes is a common occurrence.
Sustech have developed an effective and economical solution for conservation of water. The Sustech Grey Water Purification System is designed to purify the domestic grey water.
This is a liquid catalyst system and uses an In-line devise which not only treats water, but also purifies it. The purity is up to such a high level that the treated water can be re-used for domestic washing and cleaning needs.
The treated water removes bacteria, odors, turbidity, colour, sulphides and other contaminants, organic matter, oil and grease. After treatment, this water becomes crystal clear and pure for reuse in domestic, horticulture or agricultural purposes.
The in-line catalyst devise will re-cycle more than 65% of the water that goes into the sewages and makes the water available for domestic use without having to depend on the public supply from government bodies. The cost of such purification is similar or less than the water treatment charges we pay. Besides, the 65% saving of water will put less pressure on our water resources and allow the aquifers to recharge in the natural replenishment speeds.
