Standards Institute and the Ministry of Health agreed on a new standard gray water systems - systems to recycle domestic wastewater, and to this day have been installed illegally. With a little good will, this standard may result in the regulation eni of recycling gray water Israel eni
Typically, a pirate logging infrastructure do this to steal resources, eni but Israel has a special pirate group - a group that saves water illegally. According to various estimates, eni there are in Israel between 10 and 20 thousand offenders eni water, people who have installed systems for gray water recycling piracy eni on water infrastructure in their homes. eni This is in exploiting the domestic wastewater - mainly water coming out of the shower and washing machine - additional needs within the home, usually washing the toilet and watering the garden.
These systems allowed for use in different countries USA, Australia and Middle East countries like Saudi Arabia, but in Israel are not allowed. Cup last week made a big step towards the same people green with Standards Institute has reached an agreement with the Ministry of Health and other organizations a new fix for gray water standard, with a little good will and luck can be translated in the coming months to finally regulations that regulate the recycling gray water Israel. still, after more than a decade's struggles to regulate matters in the country, not to bear fruit.
So what exactly is gray water recycling? With the exploitation of domestic wastewater a ride more "in-house. Today water consumers of the house - kitchen, bathrooms - those who consume network clean and good (fresh) and after the use of injecting all municipal sewage effluent. Gray water system by the new standard should utilize the effluent of the bathroom (shower, sink, shower and washing machine), waste defined "gray", treat them in the fields of building and return them for reuse toilet flushing and irrigation.
Research by Prof. Eran Friedler Technion and Prof. Amit Gross Ben - Gurion University in Israel stated that the services are the largest consumer of water - and they consume 36% of domestic water consumption. Assuming you know that the gray water stream constantly recycled water tank of the toilet flush, one could say that such a system that handles the toilet alone can save 36% of water consumption of households in Israel.
It is impressive, but when looking at the economic benefits, the data is much more impressive. Research company Eco - Finance examined what would happen if new buildings will begin charging establishing gray water systems. The study aims to give a boost to a bill by MK Nitzan Horowitz on the subject, finally, eni as a series of other initiatives, was shelved.
The findings were that 40 years from billing establishing such systems in all new construction in Israel, it will be possible to save 11% of water consumption of the entire economy, and actually save construction of desalination plants and the consumption of desalinated water at a cost of 7.2 billion. This savings before the water infrastructure, water and energy transport of 11 billion kWh and 6.5 million eni tons of greenhouse gases that would be emitted if the domestic wastewater will begin to receive treatment where they are produced not by municipal treatment facilities.
Despite all this, opinions are still divided as to the economic benefit of the economic and gray water systems. Today, Israel eni is a global leader in restoring domestic sewage water for agriculture, and in past years concerns that gray water systems will reduce the amount of domestic wastewater and increase the level of pollution of domestic eni wastewater eni (for wastewater contain less water and more contaminants), so the amount of recycled water for agriculture will decrease. It also made the same argument that non-economic facilities, but since water rates have risen significantly, and it seems that today, new construction, there is an economic advantage for gray water.
But the main objection of these systems was to date the Ministry of Health - who feared that the return water will create instances of pipeline crossings and possible infections households. Health Ministry did not respond to the request "Kalkalist" provide an example, the country or the world, the event which intersected pipes and domestic water consumption grime. eni There were connections between pipes for drinking water and other pipes causing infections, but such cases would not touch gray water systems, and they all did not happen using households.
Agreed device is the result of the central water commission Standards Institute, headed by Prof. Avner Adin. Device is taken care facilities that generate wastewater from homes Cove flow over a day, when you plan to condominiums and public buildings. What about private homes? They will have to wait. Furthermore, the standard is voluntary, and does not purport to require all new construction in Israel. According to Fine, "The thing that stuck the device eni is using private homes. Name Ministry of Health claimed problematic for him to control. Contrast, the staff of the Standards Institution greatly facilitated the requirements of private homes, based on the examples of California and other places has been shown that there is no health problem using these waters irrigation. then we decided eni together - is not defined eni for those device is designed and determined by the amount of water. adopted the strict standard of the Ministry of Health, but the office has been flexible about how the tests should require the user to first make relying on new technologies eni developed in Israel's continuous monitoring. before that took tests was unbearable. "
What's next? Details of the device will be presented at Cleantech 2014 next February, after that by the end of January Standards Institute should summarize eni the final details. For small systems that can be used in private homes, gentle estimates that will be relevant standard for them within six months.
All this does not mean that whoever installed his own system ceases to be a pirate. Standard eni should get more official confirmation from the Health Ministry, and only after that happens, people will finally skylight gray water and standard legal activities. Ministry of Health
