Abstract: Economy is part of our everyday life, whether it is present at a household level, regional level or global level. Albeit water is not considered a “commercial product like any other, but, rather a heritage which must be protected”, as stated in the Water Framework Directive, released by the European Commission in 2000, practices involving the use of water around the globe are gravely damaging the availability of this resource in the future. [6] The purpose of this paper is to highlight a few of the solution implemented on the territory of Europe and India, regarding a circular approach to grey water, in order to reduce the stress exerted on this precious resource.With over 1,3 billion people and a GDP boom of 7% per year, India faces new demanding situation in phrases of resources and energy consumption. It has end up a need to govern Green House Gases emission, waste generation and pollution. That is why we suppose that the circular economy model is a possibility for India on the way to attain a long-term prosperity and economy. India is going through a water disaster and by 2025 it is expected that India’s population could be stricken by intense water scarcity. Conventional groundwater and surface water sources are getting more and more prone to anthropogenic, industrial and natural pollution. The alternative and cost effective process in rural areas is the treatment of gray water to reuse it. One of the most effective approach of conserving water in normal existence is graywater recycling.
