Create an Oasis describes how to quickly and easily choose, build, and use a simple greywater system. Some can be completed in an afternoon for under $30 (R300 approx.). It also provides complete instructions for more complex installations, how to deal with freezing, flooding, drought, failing septics, low perk soil, non-industrialized world conditions, coordinating a team of professionals to get optimum results on high-end projects, and “radical plumbing” that uses 90% less resources.

• Purify wastewater better without energy or chemicals
• Greywater is laundry, shower, sink, and dishwater. It may be reused for other purposes, especially landscape irrigation
• Avoid common errors such as greywater treatment before irrigation, storage of greywater, oversized greywater tanks, greywater pumps, etc.
