The Builder's Greywater Guide (a supplement to Oasis's book Create an Oasis with Greywater) will help building professionals or homeowners work within or around building codes to successfully include greywater systems in new construction or remodeling, even if they have little prior greywater experience. It is also a great resource for regulators interested in improving regulatory oversight of greywater systems.

YES! Art has done a WONDERFUL job with all his books and has provided a true service to the people and the planet.

The regulators eyes are beginning to open to the realities of issues surrounding greywater and wastewater recycling . . . thanks in part to the work presented in this and other books provided by Mr Ludwig.

This was exactly what I'd hoped for. Very informative and readable by the lay person.

You must buy "Create an Oasis With Greywater" since this SUPPLEMENT refers to the book often!

Good general reference for planning a greywater system. Especially like the section on systems that don't work. Nice not to have to reinvent the wheel. Information in the book correlates well with my own experiences with greywater over the last 30 years in various parts of the world. A "must have" reference for anyone considering installing a greywater system.

I am not a builder but I am planning to build GREEN.I wanted to be as informed as possible, so I could research the building requirments, communicate as intelligently as possible, hire the right people, choose the right architect, etc. This book gave me 98% of all the info I needed on a graywater system, even though I'm building in Pennsylvania and author is a Californian. I have "Create an Oasis With Graywater" also. These books have made my life much simplier.
