水回用计划的发展和运作的治理方面，如政策和监管框架，以及公众参与和利益攸关方的合作，可以促进和限制更广泛地采用水回用做法。本文探讨了欧洲水回用行业面临的主要治理挑战的意义和基本结构。它提出了经验证据，从访谈和重点小组会议进行了四个水回用计划：间接饮用水回用计划在Torreele（比利时），城市再利用处理过的城市废水在伦敦奥林匹克公园（联合王国）和萨巴德尔（西班牙），并在Capitanata（意大利）农业工业废水灌溉的再利用。研究结果强调了水回用政策安排的清晰度的重要性，以及与替代供水方案相比，回用项目的财务竞争力。水再利用计划的经营者表示倾向于水质标准，这种标准侧重于使用的适当性，而不是过分强调沃茨的来源，以便避免不必要的处理和费用。公众的积极支持被广泛认为是水再利用计划成败的一个重要因素。我们的结论是，建设性的机构关系的基础上所面临的再利用计划运营商的许多挑战，并应更加重视建立信心，并通过早期识别治理制度如何塑造新计划的可行性，获得对供水服务提供商的信任。
The governance dimensions of water reuse scheme development and operation, such as policies and regulatory frameworks, and public involvement and stakeholder collaboration, can serve to both facilitate and constrain wider adoption of water reuse practices. This paper explores the significance and underlying structure of the key governance challenges facing the water reuse sector in Europe. It presents empirical evidence from interviews and focus group sessions conducted at four water reuse schemes: an indirect potable reuse scheme at Torreele (Belgium), the urban reuse of treated municipal wastewater at the London Olympic Park (United Kingdom) and at Sabadell (Spain), and the reuse of agro-industrial effluent for irrigation at Capitanata (Italy). The findings underscore the importance of clarity in policy arrangements around water reuse, as well as of the financial competitiveness of reuse projects compared to alternative water supply options. Operators of water reuse schemes expressed a preference for water quality standards, which focus on appropriateness for use rather than over-emphasise the waters’ origin so that unnecessary treatment and costs can be avoided. Positive public support was widely acknowledged as an important factor in the success or failure of water reuse schemes. We conclude that constructive institutional relationships underpin many of the challenges faced by reuse scheme operators and that greater emphasis should be given to building confidence and gaining trust in water service providers through early identification of how governance regimes shape the viability of new schemes.
