gray water recycling

calgary : 137 litres per person per day (gross) 52% residential = 71.24 litres per day per house hold

71.25 x 365 = 26.0000 litres per year

peaks in summer | lawn watering can increaseresidential use by 50%

Match water quality to water useAn emerging and exciting area for conservationplanning will be to find and make appropriate useof alternative water sources. To this end, The City ofCalgary plans to investigate and promote potentialopportunities for the safe use on non-potable watersources. This includes the use of:>stormwater> greywater (wastewater from domestic sources)>wastewater effluent from treatment plants

Precipitation per/yearaverage 420 mm [16.9 inches]

2 systems |potable + non potable2 supply + 2 return

max area of roof on chosen site | 20m x 9m 1937.5 sq ft.1 inch of rainfall = .62 gallons

17 inches (precip/y) x 1937.5 (area) x .62 =
