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.
