DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.10.172
Abstract: Abstract Decentralised hybrid rainwater-greywater systems can switch between climate-independent greywater during dry seasons or climate-dependent rainwater during monsoon seasons, resulting in higher water savings than either rainwater harvesting or greywater recycling systems alone. However, hybrid… read more here.
