In Pakistan, water scarcity is a major problem, continuously increasing with the increase of population. Unfortunately, untreated wastewater mostly aggravates this critical issue as it is disposed of directly in a water source. Traditional treatment technologies can effectively work but are economically not sustainable. This research aims to align with SDG6 "Clean Water and Sanitation" to address this challenging problem. Muslims across the globe utilize water for ablution five times a day, which is left untreated as greywater. Understanding the issue of untreated greywater, this research proposes a cost-effective filtration system for treating greywater in mosques on the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Taxila campus by establishing a closed-loop system making it reusable. The filtration system comprises of Tea Waste Residue (TWR) as a filtration media with stratified layers of gravel and sand. The study comprises the characterization of wastewater and designing of a treatment plant as a feasible and sustainable option for treating greywater from mosques i.e., simple to install and operate, and aims to treat large volumes of water. The findings of the study recommend that the system can be implemented in mosques in Taxila and other parts of Pakistan, laundry wastewater, and car washing, ensuring it is environmentally and economically sustainable and minimizing the strain on natural water bodies.
