Weekend Reading.

Research collated on water use within the Urbibana.

Huehuetortuga Ecovillage, Morelos, Mexico. An example of completely integrated water and wastewater collection, which allows year-round gardening and water supply in an area with an 8-month dry season. I love the use of artificial micro-wetlands to filter grey-water.

Also, Oasis Design, consultants on the above project, have an excellent Q&A.

Of particular interest is their comprehensive guide to grey-water systems.

Also, Greywater treatment and use.

Greywater Wiki.

Living Designs Group provides an overall idea of comparative architecture.

As does Earthship.

New Zealand has fantastic wetland biodiversity- a great native resource for the above processes. And the DOC has a site too.
