The research paper investigates novel and environmentally friendly approaches to the treatment of greywater inside urban areas. Wastewater generally refers to the generally uncontaminated sewage coming from various domestic sources such as showers, sinks, washers and dryers, and kitchen appliances, serves as a remarkable and neglected asset. The objective of this investigation is to look into the possibility of greywater as an environmentally friendly water source, with a specific focus on urban areas. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods of treatment in order to optimize wastewater reuse. The effectiveness, affordability, and environmental consequences of these technologies are evaluated. The study further emphasizes the significance of wastewater treatment in minimizing water scarcity, reducing the demand on sewage infrastructures as well as encouraging equitable urban growth. This study combines theoretical investigations and real-life cases in order to provide a comprehensive examination of current developments and future possibilities in the field of greywater treatment. The results indicate that the incorporation of modern techniques for treating greywater can make a substantial contribution to the implementation of sustainable water management in urban areas. This progress can lead to the development of environmentally friendly cities and a more robust water infrastructure.
