## Annex referred to in part (d) of the reply to Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No.3222 for reply on 20.03.2025

Suggestive techniques for effectively managing  greywater at both household and community levels

## Household Level Techniques

- a. Soak Pit :  A simple structure where greywater is allowed to percolate into the ground, promoting natural filtration.
- b. Leach  Pit :  Similar  to  soak  pits  but  designed  to  handle  larger  volumes  of  greywater, allowing for effective drainage and treatment.
- c. Magic  Pit :  An  innovative  approach  that  combines  various  materials  to  enhance  the treatment of greywater before it is released into the environment.
- d. Kitchen Garden : Utilizing treated greywater for irrigation, thus promoting water reuse and enhancing food production.

## Community Level Techniques

- a. Community  Leach  Pit :  A  shared  facility  for  managing  greywater  from  multiple households, designed to reduce individual household burden.
- b. Waste  Stabilization  Pond :  A  system  that  uses  natural  processes  in  ponds  to  treat wastewater through sedimentation and biological activity.
- c. Constructed  Wetlands :  Engineered  systems  that  mimic  natural  wetlands  to  treat greywater using plants and microorganisms.
- d. Phytorid Technology : A specific type of constructed wetland that utilizes plant roots to filter and treat wastewater effectively.
- e. Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System (DEWATS) : A modular approach that treats wastewater close to its source, reducing transportation needs and associated costs.
- f. Soil  Biotechnology  (SBT) :  Techniques  that  use  soil-based  processes  for  treating sewage and effluent, leveraging natural biological activity.

## Conveyance Mechanisms

- a. Closed Drains :  Systems designed to transport greywater safely without exposing it to the environment.
- b. Small-Bore  Pipe  System :  A  more  efficient  method  of  conveying  greywater  using smaller diameter pipes, minimizing excavation and material use.
