“…At the country level, historical accounts describe conditions promoting recycling within countries (Barbagallo et al, 2001;Radcliffe, 2006), while comparative studies correlate hypothesized drivers (e.g. rainfall characteristics) with differences in water recycling performance between countries (Hochstrat et al, 2008;Hochstrat et al, 2006). Two studies (Asano, 2005;Chen et al, 2013) discuss global drivers towards water recycling.…”

The reclamation, treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater can provide important environmental benefits. In this paper, 25 studies on this topic were reviewed and it was found that there are many (>150) different drivers acting for and against wastewater recycling. To deal with the challenge of comparing studies which entailed different research designs, a framework was developed which allowed the literature to be organized into comparable study contexts. Studies were categorized according to the level of analysis (wastewater recycling scheme, city, water utility, state, country, global) and outcome investigated (development/investment in new schemes, program implementation, percentage of wastewater recycled, percentage of water demand covered by recycled water, multiple outcomes). Findings across comparable case studies were then grouped according to the type (for or against recycling) and category of driver (social, natural, technical, economic, policy or business). The utility of the framework is demonstrated by summarizing the findings from four Australian studies at the city level. The framework offers a unique approach for disentangling the broad range of potential drivers for and against water recycling and to focus on those that seem relevant in specific study contexts. It may offer a valuable starting point for building hypotheses in future work.

“…Stress-related conditions describe the water stress at the provincial level, whereas access-related conditions reflect accessibility of wastewater to potential users. Both categories are drivers of effective wastewater reuse practice in other contexts around the globe (Burian et al 2000;Dillon 2000;Hochstrat et al 2008;Kunz et al 2015;Lazarova et al 2001;Tsai and Chou 2004) and belong to the social and natural categories of wastewater reuse drivers identified by Kunz and colleagues (2016). Within this scope, this study asks the question of how different stress-and access-related conditions combine in driving the outcome of wastewater reuse at the provincial level.…”

Summary In water‐scarce regions of China, wastewater reuse is increasingly considered as a potential component of China's future water resource management strategy. Currently, the percentage of wastewater reuse varies substantially across Chinese provinces, but conditions leading to a high rate of wastewater reuse have not been elucidated clearly. In this work, we use fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to identify the drivers of high and low percentages of wastewater reuse in water‐stressed Chinese provinces in 2013. We find that among the five conditions studied (per capita water availability, urban population, access to sea, access to urban space, and access to agricultural land), a high percentage of wastewater reuse is primarily driven by water stress and access to urban green space. Consequently, policies should consider targeting provinces with these attributes where wastewater reuse is more likely to be successful. Further, our results show that there is asymmetry in the conditions that lead to high and low percentages of wastewater reuse, and that the drivers for and against reuse identified in this study are not completely analogous to those identified in previous studies. As such, the drivers for and against wastewater reuse should not be generalized without due consideration of the local context.

“…As part of the AQUAREC project, decision support software (DSS) has been developed for exploring the feasibility of alternative designs for treatment and distribution of reclaimed wastewater . Also within the framework of the AQUAREC project, Hochstrat et al (2008) aimed to develop integrated water reuse strategies. Their study looked at the current extent of water stress and water reuse activities in European countries and the barriers against implementation of further water reuse schemes.…”

A review of the literature published in 2008 on topics relating to water reclamation and reuse is presented. This review is divided into the following sections: (1) General: extent of reuse, research needs, guidelines and monitoring, and health effects, (2) Treatment Technologies: integrated process design, electrodialysis/electrodeionization, membrane treatment, chemical recovery for industrial wastewaters, disinfection, and (3) Planning and Management: public acceptance & education, economics and pricing, water quality planning and management and project/case studies.
