Prefabricated system of unsaturated vertical flow wetlands, composed of modular elements for the reuse of domestic greywater in applications such as irrigation and recirculation to toilets. 

The system recovers water from showers, sinks, dishwashers, and washing machines, which is treated through a purifying wetland system passing through different filters where phytodepuration processes occur. The treated water is then used for toilet flushing and irrigation. The project included the design and implementation of a nursery, where families chose their crops with the team for sustenance and garden ornamentation purposes, which currently, due to the context of water scarcity in Petorca, practically lack water for these uses. "Mi Vivienda Hídrica" is one of the winning projects of the CORFO "Challenges of Public Interest Innovation" competition, presented in collaboration with the company Ecological.
