Acceptability of reclaimed water use in urban Australia: Establishing a baseline and variations based on experience, consultation and trust.

在目前长期干旱的情况下，随着主要城市重新出现用水限制，对影响公众接受水再利用的社会因素进行研究的广泛认识日益迫切。这个项目将产生关于公众对水再利用的接受程度及其预测指标的国家基线数据。这些基准数据将与已实施或正在讨论的水再利用项目的案例研究结果进行比较，重点是不同的公众咨询和其他实施过程对公众接受水再利用的影响。将探讨风险认知和对有关当局的信任的作用。

Under current, prolonged drought conditions, with the reappearance of water restrictions in major cities, the widely identified need for research into social factors that affect public acceptance of water reuse is increasingly urgent. This project will produce national baseline data on the public acceptability of water reuse, and its predictors. This benchmark data will be compared with results from case studies of implemented or mooted water reuse projects, focusing on the impact of differing public consultation and other implementation processes in public acceptance of water reuse. The role of risk perceptions and trust in relevant authorities will be explored.
