Wastewater from the kitchen, the bathroom, and the laundry is known as:
  1. blackwater
  2. potable water
  3. graywater
  4. process water
Explanation
Answer: C - Wastewater from kitchen, bathroom, and laundry sinks are from graywater. Graywater is water created during domestic activities, such as from kitchens, bathrooms, laundry sinks, tubs, and washers. It is distinct from blackwater in that graywater does not contain human waste. Graywater is suitable for reuse in irrigation, flushing toilets, and heat reclamation. If used for irrigation, it is important to ensure that cleaning chemicals used are non-toxic.
