Abstract The purpose of my experiment was to evaluate the impact of recycled water on plant growth. I conducted my experiment to determine the impact of three types of recycled water on the growth of four types of plants, using clean tap water as my control. Specifically, I used rainwater, greywater and diluted urine as my recycled water sources. My hope is to find a new way to water plants without using clean water, which we should be using to fuel us. This is mainly for people in developing countries who don’t always have access to clean drinking water. The use of diluted urine and other recycled water sources can allow for a reduction in the demand for clean tap water.
