Hi Megan, good to see some application for grey water treatment, the Water Research Commission through the WADER programme are doing work on grey water systems in South Africa.

I'm based in Joburg and will happily point you in the right direction, if required.

A thought, it may be cheaper to purchase a system rather than to construct a wetland, my experience with constructed wetlands, subsurface is that it is critical to select the right size media, and equally critical to ensure laminar flow across the wetland basin, so the inlet arrangement, slope, media etc is key.

Over time, wetlands require maintenance on vegetative growth, this can be a daunting task for the unprepared.

You are welcome to contact me on gary@dikubu.co.za

Hi Gary, thanks for your valuable insight. I haven't found any systems that are affordable in Namibia and as the site is isolated on a farm we have the luxury of trail and error. Do you have any examples of a working system or contacts who could advise me? Thanks again, my email address is galloway.mg@gmail.com.
