By harvesting and reusing rainwater for non potable purposes (such as toilet flushing\, irrigation\, and washing machines)\, these systems reduce demand on drinking water networks and help preserve groundwater and surface water bodies. Their relevance is global: countries like Germany\, the UK\, Spain\, Japan\, Australia\, Brazil\, and the US have integrated RWH into building codes\, urban planning\, or large scale demonstration projects. \nFrom the Tokyo Dome’s 3000 m³ system to the Potsdamer Platz district in Berlin\, and from mandatory installations in parts of Australia to municipal requirements in Spain\, RWH has evolved from an ancient practice into a widely diffused\, technologically advanced solution that supports circular water management and climate resilience. \n \nDetails\nCourse Content \n1.

With appropriate simple treatment\, greywater can be safely reused for non-potable purposes such as toilet flushing and irrigation. Replacing drinking-quality water for these everyday applications\, households and communities can reduce demand on freshwater supplies\, which is increasingly important in a climate change and water scarcity scenario. Greywater reuse thus strengthens local water resilience and offers a practical\, decentralised approach to sustainable water management. \n \nDetails\nCourse Content \nLecture Topics:1. Greywater reuse in the climate change context.2. Drivers\, opportunities\, and limitations for greywater reuse\, environmental and economic benefits\, and key social\, regulatory and technical barriers.3. Governance of greywater management: policy frameworks\, legislation\, and regulation. Greywater quality requirements and risk-based standards for different uses.4. Overview of greywater treatment technologies and performance considerations.5. Design and operation of greywater reuse systems at building and neighbourhood scales.6. Global perspectives and case studies on greywater reuse implementation across different climatic\, socio-economic\, and regulatory contexts. \nTutors \nCarla Gamelas \nStudy Programme \nDegree in Environmental and Marine Technologies \nECTS \n0  \nContact hours \n90 minutes \nFull/partial course \nSingle lecture \nEuropean Qualifications Framework (EQF) \nEQF 6 \nCourse ID \nSL_IPS_4 \nPrerequisites \nNone \nFurther information\n\n\n Teaching Methods\n \n \n \nLecture \n\n\n\n Learning Outcomes\n \n \n \nBy the end of this lecture\, students will be able to: 1.
