In 1-3 days, we can set up the option to run your laundry's "wastewater" to your garden into 2-5 mulch basins, which filter out the salts and infiltrates around 20 gallons per load into your soil.

Although the setup is passive, or gravity-fed, the washing machine does pump the water, which allows us to pipe uphill some.
This is a very simple and versatile modification for any home, not changing any of our daily habits, but transforming them into practices that more benefit our home, landscape, and watershed.
