Environmental Implications of Greywater Irrigation within an Urban Development

This doctoral thesis examined the sustainability of greywater irrigation in an urban setting with particular focus on environmental impacts on the terrestrial (back yard) and local aquatic environments. The findings will help to strengthen the long-term sustainability of greywater irrigation, foster the known benefits in urban water use savings, improve guidelines for installation of greywater systems and enhance water reuse policy by providing data to minimise the impacts on the environment. Data from this thesis is already being used by the Queensland Government to assist with future guidance on greywater reuse management policy
