Sustainable urban water policy requires informed risk management procedures for health and environmental risks from exposures to many contaminants in urban water systems. This research articulates with the National Water Quality Management Strategy and national guidelines for drinking and recycled water; and it shows barriers to successful community adoption of new sustainable water technologies. Technical advances in modelling expert opinion will contribute to improved standardised risk assessment frameworks throughout government. The research is fundamental for better decision-making for regulators, suppliers, and managers and it will influence the international development of similar guidelines for sustainable urban water use.

可持续的城市水政策要求对城市水系统中许多污染物所造成的健康和环境风险采取知情的风险管理程序。这项研究与国家水质管理战略和国家饮用水和再生水指导方针相结合;它显示了社区成功采用新的可持续水技术的障碍。建模专家意见的技术进步将有助于改善整个政府的标准化风险评估框架。这项研究对于监管机构、供应商和管理人员更好地决策至关重要，它将影响国际上制定类似的可持续城市用水指南。
