    1. The capstone project proposes a scientific research on a greywater collection and reuse system for Elizabeth Seton School in Las Pinas. 2. Greywater is wastewater from sinks, showers, baths, dishwashers, and clothes washers that can be collected and reused for irrigation to conserve water. 3. Previous research has shown that treated greywater is safe for irrigation and does not pose health risks, and a greywater system could significantly conserve water resources if implemented properly.

    A. Project

    What is the title of the capstone paper?

    A scientific research on a greywater collection and reuse system for Elizabeth Seton
    School, Las Pinas Campus

    B. Project Merit

    Explain the practical importance of your project. Explain why it is worthwhile.

    Greywater can be defined as used water from households or office buildings without any
    fecal contamination. This can be collected from sinks, showers, baths, dishwashers, and clothes
    washers. Greywater can be used for laundry, toilet flushing and irrigation of plants. The use of
    greywater can be done in a school setting. The collection of this can be used to water plants
    surrounded in the school. An organized system of collecting and using greywater can be an
    efficient way to conserve water as well.

    C. What is/are the conceptual basis/bases of the capstone project (based on related literature)?
    A research found in sciencedaily.com has mentioned that researchers at the Zuckerberg
    Institute for Water Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have determined that treated
    greywater is safe for irrigation and does not pose a risk for gastrointestinal illness or water-related
    diseases. This was concluded by comparing the effect of potable water and greywater
    respectively, in the control group.

    Another research from Cornell University states that greywater may be directly used as
    long as it is collected from a separate plumbing system as what is used for blackwater (Chung &
    White,n.d.). Blackwater is water that has high-concentrations in harmful viruses and bacteria.
    Sources of blackwater include toilets and kitchen sinks. With these in mind, greywater may be
    safely reused within a short period of time.

    An existing study in India by Parameshwaramurthy P. M, Sadashiva Murthy B. M., & Krupa


    Kadekoppa (2018), shows that there is an existing process on making greywater fit to be reused
    for multiple purposes. If this system is implemented, a significant quantity of potable water or
    water in general may be conserved.

    Similar researchers have shown that greywater can be an alternative for potable water for
    the irrigation of plants. Greywater is not contaminated and therefore will not affect the plant itself
    and the person who will consume the fruits of these plants. These researchers all are centered
    on systems in foreign countries. In our country however, this has yet to be discovered and
    implemented. If this system is successfully implemented, it may be a source of water
    conservation, and may help the environment as these will be used for plants.
