Water scarcity, rapid population growth and increasing urbanization are placing increasing pressures on water supply systems, and this may be further exacerbated by climate change. Thus, water recycling presents an attractive option for augmenting water supplies. Stormwater recycling as irrigation water for public lands presents a potential solution but this water can contain pollutants that are harmful to human health if exposure, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and small children, to these pollutants occurs during the irrigation process. Stormwater reuse also faces social and economic challenges, which may be affected by a changing climate. This research will determine how stormwater recycling for irrigation can be made environmentally, socially and economically acceptable and lead to the development of guidelines and policies on stormwater reuse for irrigating public lands that are robust and resilient under a changing climate.

水资源短缺、人口迅速增长和日益城市化给供水系统带来越来越大的压力，气候变化可能会进一步加剧这种压力。因此，水循环是增加供水的一个有吸引力的选择。将雨水回收用作公共土地的灌溉水是一个潜在的解决方案，但如果在灌溉过程中暴露于这些污染物，特别是老年人和幼儿等弱势群体，这些水可能含有对人体健康有害的污染物。雨水再利用还面临着社会和经济挑战，这些挑战可能会受到气候变化的影响。这项研究将确定如何使雨水再循环用于灌溉在环境、社会和经济上可接受，并导致制定雨水再利用用于灌溉在气候变化下稳健和有弹性的公共土地的指导方针和政策。
