Title: Rainwater and greywater use in buildings. Best practice guidance (C539)
Author(s): D Leggett, R Brown, D Brewer, G Stanfield, E Holliday
Date: 2001
ISBN (13 digit): 978-0-86017-539-1
ISBN: 0-86017-539-1
Description: The Government, water regulators and water supply undertakers are all encouraging the adoption of water conservation measures. One component of these measures is to use rainwater and greywater (water from wash basins, baths, and showers) as a source of water to reduce the reliance upon the mains water supply. There has been relatively little guidance on how separate or combined rainwater and greywater systems may provide safe water to buildings. Making decisions on system design or selection has proven difficult and, in some developments, has led to rejection of rainwater or greywater systems. These books aim to address these problems and provide information and authoritative best practice for rainwater and greywater systems, either separate or combined.The Best practice guidance provides practical guidance on the specification and implementation of rainwater and greywater systems. The Guidance is based on the findings from demonstration sites, consultation with stakeholders and contact with other sites not directly monitored by the project. The book provides further detail and specific recommendations for rainwater and greywater use. The Guidance is aimed at developers, building owners, equipment manufacturers and their consultants and contractors. It will also be of interest to water utilities, local authorities, environmental regulators and house builders wishing for further detail than that provided in the companion volume.

These books aim to address these problems and provide information and authoritative best practice for rainwater and greywater systems, either separate or combined.The Decision-making for water conservation provides a background to the use of rainwater and greywater and identifies the barriers and benefits of this type of water use and recycling. It discusses the issues surrounding rainwater and greywater use, including regulation, water quality, hazards of operation, economics, design and suitability of application. The document is aimed at water utilities, local authorities, and environmental regulators. In addition, the document is aimed at private individuals and house builders with an interest in conserving water resources.

Title: Rainwater and greywater in buildings: project report and case studies (X104)
Author(s): D Brewer, R Brown, G Stanfield
Date: 2001
ISBN (13 digit): 978-0-86022-577-5
ISBN: 0-86022-577-1
Description: Rainwater and greywater use in buildings is a series of documents resulting from research projects undertaken by CIRIA and BSRIA, collectively known as "Buildings that save water" (BTSW). There are three main outputs to the series: Decision-making for water conservation, Best practice guidance and Project report and Case studies. This publication details the monitoring of demonstration sites, with rainwater or greywater systems in the UK. It provides a background to the systems monitored, their operational and maintenance requirements, system reliability and user perception. Details of the monitoring results for water savings financial analysis and microbiological data are also given. In addition to this, the document reports on the experience from other sites using rainwater or greywater systems. Experience gained from this part of the project was used to develop the Best practice guidance. This report will be of use to those responsible for the direct installantion or monitoring of rainwater or greywater systems and those who wish to see the underlying data and information captured from the rainwater and greywater systems monitored.
