'''Site under construction'''


=Introduction=

See [[Inga's House/DesignSpecifications]] for general design.

=Requirements/Wishes=

*Handles black/greywater from Inga's house
*One possible solution is a closed-loop water system featuring the biofilter, where water is pumped back for flushing
*We may use natural rainwater runoff to fill the biofilter system initially
*System should be designed first according to [[OSE Specifications]]
*It should be modular, so that other houses can alse feed into it/from it
*It should generate flushing water, and possibly have a final filtering option for getting potable water/shower water
*It should be low cost
*It should be low maintenance
*It should have low energy input requirement (pumping)
*It should be ecological and regenerative, such as creating habitat, possibly human use
*It should be consistent with [[Inga's House/SiteDocumentation | Inga's House Site Analysis]]





==Possible Treatment Methods==
As those are the least costly, maitenance needing and lowest energy versions for the smallest amount

''Possible problem: deficient soil absorption maximum in rain season 
''
3)vertical soil filter system
