Smart Water: Feasibility study to demonstrate the Water Reuse Network (WReN) Decision Support System in Singapore

巧妙地将淋浴、洗脸盆和洗衣中的灰水重新用于非饮用用途，如冲洗和花园灌溉，已被证明可以减少高达40%的水费。因此，人们对这项技术很感兴趣，特别是在人口稠密的城市地区。新加坡就是这样一个地区。Bio Nano Consulting最近开发了一个名为WReN的软件程序，帮助城市设计师计算拟议中的灰水回收系统的成本/效益比-这是第一个提供这种级别详细分析的软件程序。在这个项目中，我们将与新加坡的专家会面，了解那里的水回用的具体问题，并将找到一个合适的工业园或住宅综合体，作为后续研究的试验台，以实际数据在真实世界环境中演示Wren系统。这将有助于加快新加坡新的水再利用系统的开发，并帮助该国节省其宝贵而有限的资源之一。

The smart reuse of "greywater" from showers, wash basins and laundry for non-drinking uses such astoilet-flushing and irrigation in the garden has been shown to reduce water bills by up to 40%.Consequently, there is much interest in this technology, especially in highly-populated urban areas.Singapore is one such area. Bio Nano Consulting has recently developed a software program called WReNwhich helps urban designers calculate the cost/benefit ratio of proposed greywater recycling systems –this is the first such software program that provides this level of detailed analysis. In this project we willmeet with experts in Singapore to understand the specific issues with water reuse there and will find asuitable industrial park or housing complex which will act as a testbed for a follow-up study todemonstrate the WReN system in a real-world setting with actual data. This will help speed thedevelopment of new water reuse systems in Singapore and help that country save one of its precious andlimited resources.
