水需求管理战略的实施，特别是在城市环境中，可以有助于提高水部门的可持续性（或至少减少不可持续性）。灰水处理及其随后用于冲厕的需求管理选项之一，具有巨大的节水潜力。灰水回收系统（GRS）的使用率很低，尤其是在英国。如此低的采用率的原因之一是人们认为GRS具有高（不可持续）的成本/效益比。本文介绍了全生命周期成本 (WLC) 模型的开发进展，旨在促进实施与经济可行性相关的 GRS 决策。
The implementation of water demand management strategies, particularly in urban environments, can contribute towards improved sustainability (or at least reduce unsustainability) in the water sector. Greywater treatment, and its subsequent use for toilet flushing, is one of the demand management options offering considerable water-saving potential. The uptake of greywater recycling systems (GRSs), particularly in the UK, is low. One of the reasons for such a low uptake is the perception that GRSs have a high (unsustainable) cost/benefit ratio. This paper presents progress on the development of a whole-life cost (WLC) model, aimed at facilitating decision making for the implementation of GRSs in relation to their economic viability.
