Dear Bennet, I hope that you are not being sarcastic. The soap and detergent in the bath and wash water are biodegradable. In many developing countries, the houses are not connected to a common drainage system for carrying away the waste water. In such cases, people generally use the grey water for irrigating their kitchen garden, or just let such water flow into a patch of land in which plants like banana, arums, etc. are grown, which can stand a bit of water logging.
