The Living Machine System was created by Worrell Water Technologies to conserve water and protect the environment efficiently. The system mimics processes found in natural wetland environments.

The system can be shared by residential communities or installed by industries, academic institutions and government agencies for the treatment of wastewater.
To really drive home the necessity for ecological wastewater treatment, Worrell Water Technologies has shared an overwhelming list of Water Facts. This is where we were reminded that worldwide, 1.2 billion people (2 in 10) do not have access to safe drinking water.
We learned of Living Machines through the Solar 2 project website.

I've actually seen one of these in Vermont, at a rest stop on Route 89! I thought it was just a really amazing greenhouse, but it turns out they use it to filter all the waste and recapture the grey water from the facility. The gentleman working there informed me that it was less expensive to put in than a conventional wastewater treatment would have been.
