As I'm researching a subject, I’ll pick up on a reoccurring feature that sticks out to me and go into further detail.  It gives me a little hook into the subject, something to keep it fresh.   Finding new research that that intrigues you, research that fuel’s that learning?  Well for me it was the most recent pages I read on “gray water usage”.  In some of them they discussed what types of crops would be safest to produce with various qualities of recycled water and why.  Now there is a bad stigma here, but it’s beginning to look like much of the concern about using gray water for vegetable irrigation is misplaced.  The biggest issue that they have with it is in relation to method of distribution.  One of the stipulations they speak of in length is that you should not use gray water too water directly on top of plants in your garden.  Now with trees, both ornamental and fruiting, it seems to be a completely acceptable way to go, but they do throw up some concern when it comes to using gray water on edibles in your garden.  This will have to be addressed when it comes time to choose what quality water goes where.  At first, when I set my plan of attack for this paper, I believed that I would be filtering all of the water together and using it in the appropriate places distributed evenly.  But after more research into gray-water techniques, I may want to consider splitting up my reservoir and dividing the different water qualities for different uses.
