The easy-to-use, practical guide is aimed at building designers, building operators and developers and sets out to explain how reclaimed water systems work. It also provides information on how these kind of systems can be specified for particular applications.

The guide gives an overview of the systems and techniques available for reclaiming and using rainwater and grey water within the built environment. It also provides information on the design approach and a description of how the system can be sized to provide optimum capacity.

Storage of water is also a critical factor and the types of storage tank, water treatment and distribution are all covered in the guide. The final chapter reviews system operation, including controls, water quality and maintenance. A comprehensive list of references and sources is also included for anyone requiring more detailed information.
