Waterless woks but no recycled sewage for drinking ...

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

Sydney announces new water measures:

Water saving campaign includes waterless woks

February 20, 2006

A range of water recycling and conservation projects have been announced by the NSW government aimed at saving more than six million litres of drinking water a day.


The government will use $9 million from the state's newly established Water Savings Fund to support 27 practical, local projects as part of the Metropolitan Water Plan.

The projects range from encouraging industry to use treated ground water to a campaign to introduce waterless woks in Asian restaurants.

"The potential over 10 years is some 21 billion litres of drinking water saved as a result of the 27 projects, all with a view to guaranteeing Sydney's long term water supply," Mr Iemma told reporters.

Other initiatives include stormwater recycling and harvesting at a number of golf courses and bowling clubs across Sydney.
