Grey Water Systems and Further Water Management Schemes in the Municipality of Camden

Our project is the proposal for the further development of water tanks and greywater systems to increase water collection and decrease water waste, improving the effectiveness of water conservation within the Camden area. These concepts will provide an affordable and mass-implementable solution to water management in Camden. This solution applies to pre-existing and upcoming residential and commercial buildings within the Camden area, and due to the variety of possible instalment locations, this will ensure the effectiveness of the system in the substantial reduction of water waste in Camden. This will provide the urbanised future of Camden with a sustainable water supply, residents with employment opportunities to install, operate, and maintain these systems, and ensure further economic development in the municipality.

We learnt about the water management schemes that Camden Council has implemented in the area, and their effectiveness to help conserve water for further urbanization and economic development of the Camden municipality. We also learnt new methods to reduce water wastage in Camden such as the increased use of grey water and water tank systems, which repurposes wasted water from bathrooms and taps for non-edible plants and other safe uses.
