Gray water: It is water that comes from the kitchen sinks, bathrooms, bathing water, water from washing clothes, utensils, or any other wastewater which does not contain feces of humans or other animals.
Blackwater: It is now apparent that it is water which contains feces of animals and humans, it is water from urinals, toilet seats, commodes, etc. is called black water
And to tell the difference in the sewer is hard because it generally mixes in the sewer, if not provided with different outlets.
I hope this helps!

The difference between gray water and black water in sewers are as follows:
Gray water :- Gray water is all of the waste water that drains from your shower and kitchen and bathroom sinks. Gray water has some bacteria but it can be filtered and reused in gardens or lawns, if done properly.
Black water :- Black water contains human waste and is unsafe. It must be stored in its own tank and disposed of very carefully.
