A new approach to stormwater treatment and reuse : Green Gully and its performance measurement

In order to manage water resources in sustainable manner and to help reduce the necessity for national restrictions in water use, developing methods to recycle and reuse stormwater and effluent waste water has become an important and urgent issue. The current critical shortages of fresh water have highlighted the need for greater reuse and recycling of water resources. This paper presents a new technology known as ‘Green Gully’ that collects, purifies and reuses stormwater throughout an automated network system. A detailed description along with working principals is presented. To determine the performance of Green Gully, preliminary experimental results are provided and discussed. Experimental procedures and performance calculations are also presented.
