ABSTRACT
Many regional and national governments are keen to help fund water saving and water treatment business projects. According to the Australian government, most businesses waste water in the same ways they waste energy and other materials. Saving water is always worth the effort. For example, the Body Shop factory in Ontario, Canada, and the National Audubon Society in Florida have all boasted at one time or another about the beauty and efficiency of their wastewater treatment 'living machines'. All workplaces produce sewage, and sewage is a disposal expense. There is, however, a way to eliminate sewage costs: treat the sewage where it's produced instead of paying to have it transported and treated elsewhere. Around 50% of the world's diseases are caused by contaminated water, and water rights have been – and continue to be – a worldwide source of conflict because water shortages often translate into food shortages and manufacturing difficulties.
