its not exact...and probably missing alot...but heres most of the processes in one place.
this is a synthesis of a few different flow charts I've been reating wiht input form kerby and NIk.
Kerby;s going to look over the numbers..
but it looks like if we recycle greywater to drinking standards, looks like we can mostly close the loop on water, with some overflow to "nondrinking" water stream..
if we only used rainwater, we would need to import 4 million gallons of drinking water.
we had a heck of a time trying to annalyze whehter we could recycle greywater for drinkibng.
we realized blackwater and urine were the two main pathogen vectors as well as pharmacutical pathways...
so we isolated those out and created non-edible, non-potable-cycle, water system, which bioaccumulates these potential toxins, and keeps them out of drinking water and food.
urine is the one exception...we make, because it has low pathogen level, and high nutrient level...we plan to reuse it for farmingm despite some pharacuetical run off...
but we then send ag runoff to the non-potable water circute...
