Attitudes to using recycled water ...

The ABC reports that the results of a survey presented at the annual Australian Society of Sociologists conference in Tasmania show the level of acceptance depends on the level of personal contact with the recycled water.

"The early results of the survey have been presented to sociologists gathered in Hobart for their annual national conference and show that acceptance of recycled water depends mainly on where it has come from and what it will be used for. While almost all of those surveyed were happy for the water to be used on golf courses, parks and gardens, only two thirds were happy for vegetables and fruit to be irrigated with it. Dr June Marks says levels of acceptance seem to depend on personal contact with the water."
