Have you ever wondered what happens with your water once it makes its brief passage through your house? Not the water that resides in your toilet, but the water that you shower or wash dishes with.

Couldn't this water still be used for certain functions like garden watering or heading back to the toilet (as long as you don't let your dog drink out of it)?

My favorite car brand is BMW, so I jumped at the chance to work at their only US production facility in Spartanburg, SC as in intern in college.
