Do you perhaps mean "recycling" water?  The question as stated is pretty vague . . .

Here is the Virginia link.\n\nhttp://www.osha.gov/oshdir/stateprogs/Virginia.html\n\nYou can also file complaints on the federal site\n\nhttp://www.osha.gov/as/opa/worker/complain.html\n\nIf the water cooler is available to all employees when they need water and the water is clean, OSHA can not do anything.  That is all that is required.   If the working conditions meet minimal standards, OSHA can not make an employer make them better.

No. That's called a conflict of interests. If the\ngovernment invested into the private sector then they\nwould pass laws that would favor some companies over\nothers. That would stifle free enterprise.

Tell them to stop polluting.\n\nNo in all seriousness it's not the individual you should be targeting but society as a whole. Government could introduce initiatives and legislation to order cut backs on greenhouse emissions and encourage recycling and renewable energy sources.\n\nBig companies are a big problem. Historically they haven't given a damn about the environment - they're just after profits so new technology and methods is essential in order for them to cut back.\n\nHefty fines should be implemented unto those who refuse to go "greener" when ordered, both individuals and companies. But this woon't happen just yet. For the time being e-mail your local council with some ideas and encourage others to be more considerate to the environment.

I am fairly sure it is NSW that uses the most of it.  I'm sorry I don't know the exact figures, have you tried  the Water Boards web sites for the areas along the Murray?  Even the Department of Sustainability and Environment may have some info or even links on their site....     www.dse.vic.gov.au  (or it could be .gov.vic.au)  Sorry can't be much more help than that, but you should be able to find info on the DSE website

I don't think their is any law on international water. You are on your own bring lots of shotguns if you plan to go there. That is why there are pirates and things.

U Replace shower heads and faucet aerators with water efficient models.\nU Use a water-filled milk jug or plastic bottle in your toilet tank to displace water; this allows your toilet\nto operate using less water.\nU Choose nonphosphate or low phosphate detergents. High phosphate levels in lakes and streams\ncan kill fish and other wildlife.\nU Use a broom instead of water to clean your driveway or garage . Do not sweep debris into the\nstreet or storm sewer.\nU Put a spray nozzle on the end of your hose for car washing and plant watering to prevent the hose\nfrom continually releasing water and to control the amount of water used.\nU Use native plants in your garden that require less water.\nU Use cat litter or sand instead of salt on icy walks. Salt pollutes water and kills plants.\n\nU Do not let the water run while brushing your teeth or washing your face (you can save up to 5\ngallons).\nU Do not leave the water running if you wash dishes by hand.\nU Rinse all your dishes at once by using a dishrack placed in the sink.\nU Only run your dishwasher and washing machine when they are full.\n\nU Do not open fire hydrants on hot summer days because water needed to fight a fire will not be\navailable in an emergency. Also, opening fire hydrants is illegal.\nU Do not throw in the trash, pour down the drain, or dump on the ground paint, antifreeze, motor oil,\nand other household hazardous wastes, because they can migrate to your water source.\nU Dispose of tissues, dead insects, and other waste in a trash can rather than a toilet.\nU Plant native plants instead of traditional lawn grass to avoid the use of herbicides, pesticides,\nfertilizers.\nU Do not dump used motor oil on the ground or into sewers; throwing motor oil in the trash is illegal.\nRecycling centers and many service stations accept used motor oil for recycling.\nImproving Your Housekeeping\nU Fix leaks by replacing faucet washers and toilet flappers as needed. A slow drip or leak can easily\nwaste more than 100 gallons of water a week, which leads to an unnecessarily high water bill.\nU Put all litter in trash cans so it does not get washed into the storm sewers.\nU Clean up waste products while walking your pets.\nEducating Yourself and Others\nU Educate your community about the effects of dumping waste, such as pesticides, down drains and\ninto waterways.\nU Encourage your neighbors, family, and friends to install low flow water fixtures and to practice\nwater conservation.\n\n\nMaybe you can not stop but it is easy to help decrease pollution.

Almost all countries have this problem ; some big , some small.\nIn many cities in Asia the sewage water disposal system is very badly managed. They are not treated effectively before it is allowed to be discharged into rivers or seas. Some do not have the treatment plant and in some the plants are not maintained propery.\nNear the butcheries where the hides and skins are washed and proceesed , in sugar industries the molasses, in dyeing industries the wastages etc etc are polluting the ground water resources.Earlier the film industry used to pollute the ground water ,.\nMany chemical industries the toxiv wastes pollute the water sources.\nI remember my child hood days when we used to drink the free flowing river waters with our hands. No more now.

i live in Sydney. There has been a drought for few years now. Water shortage is on the rise. We are not allowed to wash our cars with a hose, or else u get fined.The org. responsinle for suppling water for Sydney is called "Sydney Water". They clean the water in to fresh drinking water for everyone, which means u can drink water anywhere in Sydney and wont get sick. As long the tap is clean. \n\nSo, to tackle drought conditions, Sydney Water is considering a desalination program. Check out the link below for more info.\n\nHope this helped.

My partner used to hold contracts for the laundry of several hotels.\nThere were no regulations but he did all the loads in hot water, with bleach, dry on high heat.  This is sufficient to kill most things.\n\nA commercial washing machine doesn't do anything that a household machine can't.  I wouldn't worry about the type of machine.
