Is recycled water use risky? An Urban Australian community’s perspective

The emergence of a global water crisis has seen the necessity for a sustainable approach to water management. Policies directed towards water recycling have been implemented in many regions of the world. In Australia, prolonged drought conditions in most major cities during the past decade have led to serious national calls for less drinking water to be used (Prime Minister's Science Engineering and Innovation Council, 2003), and a strategic policy response from many State Governments, including bold targets for water recycling. A key consideration to the realisation of these policies is greater understanding of community attitudes to recycled water use, without which, a number of recycled water projects have failed (Hurlimann and McKay, 2004). Despite the critical nature of community attitudes, little research has been conducted, especially in relation to perception of risk, which has been found to be critical in the adoption of new technologies (Cvetkovich and Lofstedt, 1999). This paper investigates an urban Australian community's perception of risk involved with using recycled water. Key findings include: perception of risk increased as the use of recycled water became increasingly personal. Perception of risk was significantly negatively related to trust, perception of fairness and information. Trust in the Water Authority to manage risk was significantly related to perception of trust, communication and integrity of the Authority.

“…Bruvold, 1972), there remain limitations to current understanding of how specific communities might respond to particular water reuse proposals (Hurlimann & Dolnicar, 2016;Ross, Fielding, & Louis, 2014). This may be due to the breadth of public responses which can be influenced by consumers' expectations (Marks & Zadoroznyj, 2005), worldviews (Price, Fielding, & Leviston, 2012) or personal experiences (Leong, 2016).…”

“…Besides providing facts and figures from 5-year health research and 2-year food safety investigation (technology), supplying safe and reliable water source (environment) whilst creating a fair market (economic), this project focused on empowering local people by an intensive public involvement program (society). Therefore, a water reclamation project must utilize the mass media and larger communities for communicating scientific information about its benefits and risks to maximize the public understanding on water reuse (Marks and Zadoroznyj, 2005).…”

A mini-review on the impacts of climate change on wastewater reclamation and reuse

To tackle current water insecurity concerns, wastewater reclamation and reuse has appeared as a promising candidate to conserve the valuable fresh water sources whilst increasing the efficiency of material utilization. The climate change, nevertheless, poses both opportunities and threats to the wastewater reclamation industry. Whereas it elevates the social perception on water-related issues and fosters an emerging water-reuse market, the climate change simultaneously presents adverse impacts on the water reclamation scheme, either directly or indirectly. These effects were studied fragmentally in separate realms. Hence, this paper aims to link these studies for providing a thorough understanding about the consequences of the climate change on the wastewater reclamation and reuse. It initially summarizes contemporary treatment processes and their reuse purposes before carrying out a systematic analysis of available findings.
