The study, supported by the ArizonaDepartment of Water Resources, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, andthe Pima County Department of Environmental Quality, looked at two separate aspectsof graywater usage in the region: survey of households currently using some portionof the graywater they generate; and, testing the water quality of the residentialgraywater being generated and how that water quality affects the soil that is irrigatedwith that water. This paper discusses the results of this study. Includes 16 references.
