This case study describes a first trial of a small-scale grey-water treatment box (reed bed) for urban and peri urban households in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi. The project tested and demonstrated a sustainable low cost water treatment option for households to prevent standing greywater and clogging of soils. It was purposely limited to finding a cheap and effective domestic greywater treatment option applicable to both, upgrading of existing housing as well as to newly built low cost housing.
