“…The higher the level of education of a person, the higher the acceptance level to utilize recycled wastewater. According to Lahlou et al (2021), respondents from tertiary education holder is more likely to accept the utilization of recycled wastewater compared to a respondent who is in their early 20s with a basic educational level. Previous studies have shown that there will always be a correlation between one's educational background with the willingness to utilize recycled wastewater (Garcia-Cuerva et al, 2016).…”

Sustainable water resources management and social rights for equitable safe water and sanitation are the focal point for long-term economic growth and productivity, health and education. By 2030, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 that underlines the imperativeness of Clean Water and Sanitation aims at improving water quality by curtailing the rate and threat of pollution. This idea also aims at convincing the public on recycling water and safe water reuse. Indeed, global warming, water shortages, exponential growth of world's population and water pollution have caused significant impact on availability of the water resource throughout the globe. The trend of recycling wastewater has become one of the alternatives to reduce the pressure on the consumption of water resources. The key implementation for recycled wastewater derives from the intensive work in ensuring recycled wastewater is accepted by the public. Ergo, the challenge of the implementation is to remove the stereotype perception on the quality of recycled wastewater. The objectives of this study are to determine the acceptance of adults and senior adults to utilize recycled wastewater in the form of potable and non-potable water and to determine the correlation between the respondents' willingness in correspond to their age and education background. The survey was participated by the adults and senior adults' residents of Taman Bukit Perdana, Johor Darul Tazim and the data collected was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 27. Observations have found 77% of the respondents are willing to utilize the recycled wastewater. Adults range age between 18 -59 years old are more likely to support the utilization of recycled

“…In Qatar, a larger survey (1352 people) on the reuse of industrial wastewater showed that 74% of the respondents did not accept the reuse of industrial wastewater. The respondents were worried that the pollutants in the wastewater could not be completely removed, and also expressed concerns regarding the possible risks of long-term use of wastewater [118].…”

As the global population reaches eight billion, large quantities of wastewater (domestic, industrial, livestock) need to be treated in an efficient, green, and environmentally friendly manner. Wastewater hydroponics technology (HP) can efficiently remove various pollutants (conventional and emerging pollutants, heavy metals, and microorganisms) and create economic benefits. This paper aims to systematically review the principles, applications, and limitations of wastewater hydroponics technology in the context of pollution and nutrient removal. Unlike constructed wetlands, wastewater hydroponics has been proven to be effective in removing pollutants through small-scale in situ restoration. For instance, the average removal of COD, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) was more than 70%, 60%, 80%, 64.2%, and 49.5%, respectively. However, HP technology still has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, complex control parameters, and low public acceptance of using wastewater for planting crops. Therefore, further research is needed to reduce system energy consumption. In addition, hybrid technologies, such as two-stage hydroponics that use aquatic plants (algae or aquatic floating weeds) to recycle pollutant-containing wastewater nutrients for hydroponics, should be further developed.

“…Another study in the US and Australia revealed that a collaborative, local, and transparent risk-based regulation may increase the acceptance of water reuse by public and government officials [62]. A study in Qatar found an optimistic response for reusing treated industrial wastewater, particularly in low contact-level applications; however, children and females were less likely to accept this perspective for high contact-level applications [63]. In Khulna City, Bangladesh, a positive attitude was observed among major stakeholders toward the concept of water reuse in peri-urban agriculture (50% willing to pay and 66% willing to pay to obtain high-quality reclaimed water);…”

A Critical Review of Recent Progress in Global Water Reuse during 2019–2021 and Perspectives to Overcome Future Water Crisis

The exacerbation of the global water crisis due to an increase in global population, industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural activities, along with global climate change and limited water resources, makes water reuse inevitable in all continents. By 2030, global water consumption may grow to ~160% of the currently available volume. This study reviews recently published articles (2019–2021) to explore global case studies of water reuse and discusses future perspectives by country based on a literature survey on water reuse. There are 17 obstacles reported worldwide regarding water reuse (e.g., the properties and low amounts of treated water, regulations, financial challenges, etc.) and 10 advantages of utilizing reused water in various fields (e.g., overcoming the global water crisis, improving the economy, benefiting the industrial sector, etc.). The concept of reusing water has been accepted by countries in almost every continent (e.g., Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and North America); the technical findings from different countries are summarized in this study. The water reuse scenario is not restricted to countries with limited water supply and can be applied to those with sufficient water resources (e.g., Canada and Brazil have also implemented water reuse policies). Water reuse can be utilized by human beings via indirect and direct potable recycling, as well as in agriculture, textile, construction, hotel, groundwater recharge, and aquaculture industries. However, a standard guideline for the application of reclaimed water at a global scale is unavailable. Several perspectives have been suggested for the future utilization of reclaimed water worldwide as an effort to secure and ensure the sustainability of existing natural water resources. Lastly, water reuse may be considered a potential alternative for reducing the burden on water resources in the future.
