Yellow water

Yellow water is the collective name for urine and urine with rinse water and a component of black water . The differentiation of different wastewater partial flows plays a role especially for sustainable sanitary concepts. Pure yellow water can be obtained by separating urine in "separate toilets", which separate urine from faeces , or urinals with or without flushing. Due to the high nutrient content of the urine, diluted yellow water can be used directly as fertilizer or processed into struvite .
