Rainwater Tanks

In cities and towns with mains water, rainwater tanks are generally used for:
- Watering small domestic gardens.
- Mains water substitution for flushing toilets.
- Cold water laundry use.
But are generally NOT recommended for storing drinking water.

Greywater  

Greywater is typically water from baths, showers, hand basins and washing machines (preferably the final rinse water only). It does not include water from the toilet. Water from kitchen sinks and dishwashers is also technically greywater, however the high concentration of food wastes and chemicals mean that it is less suitable for re-use.
