Dude, I want you to come come to my house and help me set up my house like that. That is AWESOME. I will have to keep this in mind within the next yr I hope to have this working for me. How much did it cost you do do this?

Great work! You are on track to sustainability.

Nice,

You must own the property!, My hose is bank owned. So I won't modify the existing plumbing. Also building codes are strict where I live. Good idea for a rural drought prone property.

Using plants to clean the water.

interesting. How much rice will that patch produce?

[zenrainman]

Kitchen waste water has a very high organic load and that decomposes quickly and starts smelling.

One way to address the issue is to separate the high organic load from the rinsing water. Dish rinse water can easily be used but the Indian cooking has dishes with lots of oil, grease and curry,vegetables, rice,dal, curds. This stuff needs to be taken care of separately. I have a movie on that separately

another question that comes to mind is what happen if kitchen wastewater is also added to it inspite of its organic contents like tea leaves etc. These organic waste even if allowed to upto constructed wetland on roof can be picked up by birds? Or there could be some other problem like odour etc

dear Vishu

Very interesting video and good work.How you came to the conclusion that five drums are needed to get rid of detergents completely for this cascading flow of grey water.Secondly, constructed wetland bed thickness had limitation of avoiding extra load on roof which appear tobe about 8 inches'.Anyway,thank you very much for sharing this video with us.
