I am a horticulturist of 20 years. I work in landscape based water
recycling hence my interest in this conference. I have developed a simple
approach to stormwater and wastewater collection treatment and reuse called
Waterharvesting. Waterharvesting is a landscaped solution to water collection,
filtering and recycling. |
| Abstract |
The primary feature of this technique is a 'dry creekbed'. This
is a bed of rocks, gravels, sands and soils which can be sealed from, seeping
into, or open to the landscape profile.
A system of subsurface creekbeds is used to direct stormwater and greywater
or any wastefluid to landscape growing areas, while at the same time filtering
and treating the water to remove contaminants and then recycling the treated
water for non potable uses. |
