Greywater, sometimes also spelt as graywater, grey water or gray water and also known as sullage, is wastewater generated from processes such as washing dishes, laundry and bathing. Sometimes, the term excludes kitchen wastewater containing significant food residues. It is quite distinct from blackwater in the amount and composition of its chemical and biological contaminants. Greywater gets its name from its appearance and possibly also from its status as being neither fresh (white water from groundwater or potable water), nor heavily polluted (blackwater from feces or other toxic chemicals). From the point of view of treatment and pollution prevention, greywater decomposes much more quickly and is easier to treat and eliminate than blackwater, but is still considered to be a health and pollution hazard if released into the natural environment untreated.
