While in the US, they're experimenting with beer from reused greywater (😮 ) on the back of San Francisco's requirement for new builds to include water reuse, water reuse is still barely on the UK's radar. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/may/02/recycled-wastewater-beer-epic-cleantec-san-francisco-drought-california

Looks like there's some limited funding in Lambeth for 5 community projects to improve green spaces, including installation of a water butt. Deadline is 17 March. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAO__dYjTO5UN0FYWjM3NlVOREc5UThWTEdDVTRLSllaQi4u&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Orlo via Inuse Reuse & Lambeth Council

Interesting research about impacts of drought on green infrastructure. They compared areas that were watered with non-potable water (so not subject to watering restrictions) & areas not watered. In both cases, vegetation was still impacted (though in non-pot watered areas, slightly less), but in both cases, vegetation bounced back. https://waterinthewest.stanford.edu/news-events/news-insights/keeping-green-during-drought
