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，随着主要城市再次出现用水限制，人们普遍认为需要研究影响公众接受水再利用的社会因素，这一需求日益迫切。该项目将产生关于公众对水再利用的可接受性及其预测因素的国家基线数据。这一基准数据将与已实施或拟议中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.
