Water is a scarce resource and responsible for life on Earth. Nonetheless, the quality and quantity of this resource must be taken into account. Rural populations due to their remote geographic location, distance between houses and lack of economic resources, struggle to obtain improved water sources. Of the consumption of this liquid in a household, 60 to 70% is used in activities that produce grey water, such as showering and washing clothes, dishes and our hands, 25% is used in flushing toilets and the rest is used for cleaning, drinking, and preparing meals (Abdel-Kader, 2013). This water may be reused for backyard crop irrigation when properly treated against biological pollutants to avoid sanitary risks.
