Integrating rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling to increase water efficiency in office buildings

Water is an essential component of existence. It is one of the primary resources for maintaining a daily presence. Due to high demand, freshwater becomes limited; therefore, rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling should be implemented as an alternative to substituting freshwater consumption fo...
