Perceptions of Different Stakeholders on Reclaimed Water Reuse: The Case of Beijing, China
Sustainability, 2015Co-Authors: Weiping Chen, Yanying Bai, Wei-ling Zhang, Sidan Lyu, Wentao JiaoAbstract:Public involvement is critical to the successful implementation of reclaimed Water Reuse programs. Based on the participatory research method, we studied the attitudes of the stakeholders who are involved in reclaimed Water Reuse in Beijing, China. Results showed that the general public's knowledge on Water resources was poor, while their awareness on reclaimed Water Reuse was high. The general public showed a strong acceptance of non-contact and non-potable reclaimed Water Reuse, but their acceptance of the three major Water Reuse types of river Water supplement, park Water supplement, and agriculture irrigation was not high. The beneficial use of reclaimed Water was admired by Water resource managers, industrial sectors, and researchers, and these stakeholders strongly supported the advancement of reclaimed Water Reuse. However, some of the stakeholders showed concerns about the potential risks from reclaimed wasteWater Reuse. Among them, risks from waste Water treatment facilities were the biggest concern. Stakeholders' perception of reclaimed Water was influenced by their social-economic attributes. This study will enrich the current survey findings on public perception of reclaimed Water Reuse, particularly in developing countries.

urban Water Reuse a triple bottom line assessment framework and review
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2016Co-Authors: Jonathan Wilcox, Sarah Bell, Fuzhan Nasiri, Md Saifur RahamanAbstract:Water Reuse networks have been emerging globally for the last 50 years. This article reviews the economic, social and environmental issues related to implementing Water Reuse networks in cities. This is reflecting the fact that globally many cities are categorised as Water scarce areas, where there is growing imbalance between Water demand and availability. In this sense, there is a need for sustainable Water supply solutions in the imminent future to provide and maintain service reliability, particularly in the face of climate change. To demonstrate the sustainability implications of Water Reuse practices, we review a case study in London, UK.

Relevance and Benefits of Urban Water Reuse in Tourist Areas
Water, 2012Co-Authors: Valentina Lazarova, Vincent Sturny, Gaston Tong SangAbstract:Urban Water Reuse is one of the most rapidly growing Water Reuse applications worldwide and one of the major elements of the sustainable management of urban Water cycle. Because of the high probability of direct contact between consumers and recycled Water, many technical and regulatory challenges have to be overcome in order to minimize health risks at affordable cost. This paper illustrates the keys to success of one of the first urban Water Reuse projects in the island Bora Bora, French Polynesia. Special emphasis is given on the reliability of operation of the membrane tertiary treatment, economic viability in terms of pricing of recycled Water and operating costs, as well as on the benefits of Water Reuse for the sustainable development of tourist areas.

Design of a climate-dependent Water Reuse project.
Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research, 2002Co-Authors: F. Brissaud, J.c. Maihol, F. Valette, Valentina LazarovaAbstract:Reclaimed Water storage is imperative in Water Reuse management. Climate is a primary factor controlling reclaimed Water storage design by its significant influence on irrigation Water needs as well as on stored Water quality. This study presents a modelling approach that has been applied to assist the design of a climate-dependent Water Reuse project on an Atlantic island. Models for predicting irrigation Water needs and Water quality in tertiary lagoons were coupled with a technical-economic model to design reclaimed Water storage facilities. Three scenarios corresponding to different augmentation of current reclaimed Water Reuse were investigated. According to the modelling, the storage sizes to meet the Water quantity required for irrigation increased with Water deficit - the difference between evapotranspiration and precipitation. The size of tertiary lagoons to meet required Water quality was found to be larger than the size to meet required Water quantity. To meet both quantitative irrigation needs and

Design of climate-dependant Water Reuse project
2001Co-Authors: F. Brissaud, F. Valette, J.c. Mailhol, Valentina LazarovaAbstract:This study presents a modelling approach that has been applied to asist the design of a climatic-dependent Water Reuse projet in an Atlatic island. Models for predicting irrigation needs and Water quality in tertiary lagoons were coupled with a technico-economic model to design reclaimed Water storage facilities. Three scenarios corresponding to different augmentation of current reclaimed Water Reuse were investigated. According to the modelling, the storage sizes to meet the Water quantity required for irrigation increased with Water deficit (Rainfall - ET0) . The size of tertairy lagoons to meet required Water quality was found to be larger than size to meet required Water quantity. To meet both quantitative irrigation needs and < 1000 FC -1000 ml irrigation and disposal regulation , extending the tertairy lagoon system would be more cost-effective than storage calculated to meet only quatitative irrigation needs supplemented with UV dissinfection. The relaibility of reclaimed Water storage design was estimated with 40 years historic climatic records.

public responses to Water Reuse understanding the evidence
Journal of Environmental Management, 2018Co-Authors: Heather M. Smith, Stijn Brouwer, Paul Jeffrey, Jos FrijnsAbstract:Abstract Over the years, much research has attempted to unpack what drives public responses to Water Reuse, using a variety of approaches. A large amount of this work was captured by an initial review that covered research undertaken up to the early 2000s (Hartley, 2006). This paper showcases post-millennium evidence and thinking around public responses to Water Reuse, and highlights the novel insights and shifts in emphasis that have occurred in the field. Our analysis is structured around four broad, and highly interrelated, strands of thinking: 1) work focused on identifying the range of factors that influence public reactions to the concept of Water Reuse, and broadly looking for associations between different factors; 2) more specific approaches rooted in the socio-psychological modelling techniques; 3) work with a particular focus on understanding the influences of trust, risk perceptions and affective (emotional) reactions; and 4) work utilising social constructivist perspectives and socio-technical systems theory to frame responses to Water Reuse. Some of the most significant advancements in thinking in this field stem from the increasingly sophisticated understanding of the ‘yuck factor’ and the role of such pre-cognitive affective reactions. These are deeply entrenched within individuals, but are also linked with wider societal processes and social representations. Work in this area suggests that responses to Reuse are situated within an overall process of technological ‘legitimation’. These emerging insights should help stimulate some novel thinking around approaches to public engagement for Water Reuse.

How Governance Regimes Shape the Implementation of Water Reuse Schemes
Water, 2016Co-Authors: Jos Frijns, Heather M. Smith, Stijn Brouwer, Kenisha Garnett, Richard Elelman, Paul JeffreyAbstract:The governance dimensions of Water Reuse scheme development and operation, such as policies and regulatory frameworks, and public involvement and stakeholder collaboration, can serve to both facilitate and constrain wider adoption of Water Reuse practices. This paper explores the significance and underlying structure of the key governance challenges facing the Water Reuse sector in Europe. It presents empirical evidence from interviews and focus group sessions conducted at four Water Reuse schemes: an indirect potable Reuse scheme at Torreele (Belgium), the urban Reuse of treated municipal wasteWater at the London Olympic Park (United Kingdom) and at Sabadell (Spain), and the Reuse of agro-industrial effluent for irrigation at Capitanata (Italy). The findings underscore the importance of clarity in policy arrangements around Water Reuse, as well as of the financial competitiveness of Reuse projects compared to alternative Water supply options. Operators of Water Reuse schemes expressed a preference for Water quality standards, which focus on appropriateness for use rather than over-emphasise the Waters’ origin so that unnecessary treatment and costs can be avoided. Positive public support was widely acknowledged as an important factor in the success or failure of Water Reuse schemes. We conclude that constructive institutional relationships underpin many of the challenges faced by Reuse scheme operators and that greater emphasis should be given to building confidence and gaining trust in Water service providers through early identification of how governance regimes shape the viability of new schemes.
