Household water capacity for constrained development
Build Where Water Says No.
DomaViv is developing a localized, source-agnostic household water recovery system designed to reduce external water demand by conserving water and recovering defined non-toilet household wastewater.
The development constraint
Water capacity can become a constraint before a home is ever built.
Projects can be delayed, reduced, redesigned, or ruled out when water supply, wastewater infrastructure, or assured capacity cannot support planned demand.
Supply constraint
Available sources may not support planned household demand, project scale, or schedule.
Single-use demand
Each gallon is often used once before it leaves the household system.
Infrastructure burden
Added centralized capacity can be costly, slow, and difficult to approve.
The DomaViv response
Localized recovery. Source-agnostic by design.
The DomaViv concept is designed to work with an appropriate available source—municipal water, well water, hauled water, rainwater, condensate, or a future atmospheric source—while conserving use and recovering defined non-toilet household wastewater.
Work with the available source
The first proof does not depend on one source-water technology.
Recover defined household flows
Non-toilet wastewater is separated for controlled recovery, measurement, and testing.
Keep human waste outside the loop
Sanitation is treated as a boundary condition, not as recoverable water for this program.
Initial proof
Prove the conservation loop first.
The first program is intended to test whether defined non-toilet household wastewater can be recovered, reconditioned, measured, and controlled under representative conditions.
Human waste is excluded from the recoverable water loop.
Demand avoided
How much external water demand can the defined loop avoid?
Variable constituents
How do surfactants and changing household inputs affect treatment and sensing?
Quality gating
Which measurements can support reliable release, diversion, and fail-safe control?
Operating burden
What are the energy, maintenance, consumable, and service implications?
Parallel research
Source-water research continues in parallel.
Atmospheric water generation remains a DomaViv research track and may become one future source of make-up water. It is not required to prove the household conservation and recovery loop.
Separate proof
The conservation loop can be tested with an appropriate available source.
Separate evidence
AWG performance advances on its own technical validation path.
Separate funding
Each track moves when evidence, resources, and partner value support it.
Partnership paths
Help define and validate the evidence that development requires.
A first conversation determines fit, evidence needs, available contribution, decision process, and a responsible next step.
Project definition
Translate a real development constraint into requirements for the shared validation program.
- Demand assumptions
- Constraint and stakeholder map
- Evidence and decision requirements
Sponsored validation
Fund or materially support a defined proof question under a negotiated written scope.
- Milestones and reporting
- Access and contribution
- Rights and next-step criteria
Equipment, testing, or research
Contribute relevant capability through a credible exchange of value.
- Engineering and components
- Instrumentation and data interfaces
- Protocols, test access, and analysis
Who should partner
One focused program. Six ways to contribute.
DomaViv is looking for organizations that bring a real constraint, technical capability, testing resource, equipment contribution, or strategic interest.
Developers
Bring an actual site or portfolio water-capacity question.
Homebuilders
Define installation, customer, warranty, and operating requirements.
Equipment partners
Offer components, engineering, interfaces, test access, or commercial terms.
Laboratories & universities
Help define protocols, analysis, testing, and independent evidence.
Water organizations
Clarify evidence, operating, stakeholder, and decision requirements.
Strategic funders
Support a bounded validation program through a private conversation.
Team
Accountable leadership across market, technical, and execution.

Explore a development partnership
Bring the constraint. Let’s define the evidence.
Tell us what is limiting the project, what capability you can contribute, or what decision the validation must support. The first conversation is about fit and a responsible next step.
