520			_aUrban growth and industrialization strain water resources, driving demand for affordable wastewater management solutions. Low-cost technologies enabling water recycling and reuse offer viable alternatives. Slow sand filters with activated charcoal are an effective, low-cost option for treating wastewater, especially in small-scale applications in rural areas and small communities. This water conservation system treats and reuses household wastewater, such as wastewater from showers and washing machines. The system helps in minimizing water wastage and encourages green technologies within the households by incorporating renewable energy that reduces environmental impact and reusing treated domestic wastewater. It introduces pioneering features for collecting, filtering and retaining water from domestic sources like showers, and washing machines, enabling its reuse for non-potable. This led us to consider using slow sand filters with activated charcoal for wastewater treatment. Treated water is stored for non-potable purposes such as flushing, cleaning tools and service vehicles, and tasks that don't require physical direct contact with the filtered water, such as bathing and drinking. Implementing a solar-powered water conservation system in a home can help reduce on water use, encourage environmentally friendly water usage, offers sustainable solutions for household wastewater management, energy savings, and environmental friendliness. The operation is simple and requires only regular maintenance, including sand cleaning and replacement. A comprehensive strategy for water conservation that makes use of solar resources can be achieved by combining several elements, such as domestic water. This study describes the principles behind the design and the actual functioning of the system as well as its predicted-up scaling, which can be applied in promoting water saving habits in the routine activities of people. Functionality, aesthetics, workability, efficiency, economy, and safety are the five criteria used to evaluate the developed prototype's performance. The evaluation achieved an overall mean score of 4.42 and a descriptive rating of "Very Acceptable." The conclusions of this study suggest that the solar based water conservation system using domestic water is efficiency in filtration and conservation system of a household.
