Water plays a vital role and one of the basic necessities of human being. As per the report from the United Nations has estimated that in the year 2025, about 2.6 billion people will be facing water scarcity problems which mean more than half of the population will be affected by water scarcity and even it will not be exerted to say that third world war may occur due to water. [1] Water dearth has turn out to be one of the most critical problems of the current era. Some experts have also suggested that water shortage will turn out to be more severe than oil dearth in the future. The need for increased water requirement for the growing population in the new century is generally assumed, without considering whether available water resources could meet these needs in a sustainable manner. The question about from where the extra water is to come, has led to this study. It is necessary to learn physico-chemical properties of contamination of water to understand its reuse in a residential building. It is possible to intercept this grey water, at the household level, treat it so that it can be recycled for using other purposes. In this report we are going to study the domestic light grey water i.e. washing clothes, wash basin, bathroom from day to day life of case study of residential building Mohan Willows in Bhosale Nagar, Shirgaon, Balapur. The samples were analysed for the physical and chemical characteristics of the water. The parameters examined were: pH, Turbidity, TDS, COD, BOD, Oil & Grease, Conductivity, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Alkanity, Sulphate, Iron, Lead, Zinc, DO and Nitrate. The research showed that the quality of light greywater with respect to COD, BOD, turbidity and total hardness requires adequate treatment prior to household reuse. With regard to the trace and heavy metal contents, no further treatment is required.
