Abstract: In response to escalating global drinking water scarcity we propose an innovative, automatic system for reusing clean sink water to flush toilets. Existing solutions for water recycle in the houses involve purifiers and complex treatments, leading to high costs and constant maintenance. WASD, utilizing sensors and a solenoid valve, rapidly detects and separates clean water, directing it to toilet tank while sending non-reusable water to the drain. This cost-effective and user-friendly approach aims to establish sustainable water practices in domestic settings, contributing to solve the shortage of drinking water.
