废水回收是供水规划者的主要选择之一。然而，公众对回收水的态度被视为是其使用的主要抑制因素。1960年代和1970年代的研究表明，对循环水的接受程度因潜在用途而异-从大约50%的饮用水接受程度到几乎100%的灌溉和工业冷却水接受程度。初步接受主要取决于认知因素，包括公众对水的供应，分配和处理，现有供应的充足性的看法，和收入的认识。年龄、政治派别和对地方政府的态度等外围因素也与接受程度有关，但价格和心理因素都不会影响接受程度。它的结论是，公众接受废水回用是不是一个可怕的障碍，它的通过，但更大的限制是由消费者的态度规划者的悲观看法。
Recycling of waste water presents one of the main options to the water supply planner. Public attitudes against recycled water, however, are seen to be a major inhibitor of its use. Research during the 1960s and 1970s indicated that acceptance of recycled water varied according to potential use—from about 50 per cent acceptance for potable water to almost 100 per cent for irrigation and industrial cooling. Initial acceptance is shown to depend mainly upon cognitive factors, including the awareness of the public about water supply, distribution and treatment, the perception of the adequacy of existing supplies, and income. Peripheral factors such as age, political affiliation and attitudes to local government are also related to acceptance, but neither price nor psychological factors influence the level of acceptance. It is concluded that public acceptance of waste-water reuse is not a formidable obstacle to its adoption, but that a greater constraint is the pessimistic perception by planners of consumer attitudes.
