“…Despite some households being resistant to 666 using rainwater indoors (Mankad et al, 2011), it is now acknowledged that RWH is an acceptable 667 source of non-potable water compared to other types of water reuse for non-potable purposes …”

28While the practice of rainwater harvesting (RWH) can be traced back millennia, the degree of its 29 modern implementation varies greatly across the world, often with systems that do not maximize 30 potential benefits. With a global focus, the pertinent practical, theoretical and social aspects of RWH 31 are reviewed in order to ascertain the state of the art. Avenues for future research are also identified. 32A major finding is that the degree of RWH systems implementation and the technology selection are

“…There are also other scholars devoted to discovering the differences at the individual level and predicting the reusability of reclaimed water. Some social demography statistical indicators, such as gender, age, and academic level, are found to be accurate indicators for predicting the degree of the public's perception regarding the risk of reclaimed water reuse [9]. In sociological studies, the aversion to reclaimed water has been found to be positively correlated with the degree of political conservatism [10].…”

Abstract:In order to explore the influence mechanism of traditional Chinese culture values on urban residents' acceptance of the reuse of recycled water, this paper selects interdependent self-constructional indicators representing the dependency relation between people as the representative of traditional culture values. In this paper, interdependent self-constructional indicators are introduced based on a technology acceptance model (TAM), in order to establish a hypothesis model. Following this, the writer conducts a study that shows the influence on the acceptance of recycled water through the formation of interdependent self-construction. Finally, the influence mechanism of traditional cultural values on citizens' behavior regarding the reuse of recycled water is determined. To start with, the writer verifies the reliability and validity of data from 584 samples, and then tests the goodness-of-fit between the sample data and the hypothesis model by AMOS21.0 (software). On this basis, the writer analyzes the direct and indirect influence through the hypothesis model and finds that the interdependent self-constructional intensity will accelerate the acceptance process of recycled water technology by positively influencing a change in the residents' attitudes to recycled water. The conclusion shows that traditional Chinese cultural values have a certain influence on urban residents' acceptance of the reuse of recycled water. Meanwhile, the writer clarifies the influence's mechanism.

“…Firstly, the measures are evaluated by their level of centralization in terms of water systems: centralized/decentralized and formal/informal. While decentralized measures are autonomous entities acting in the same direction, centralized measures act as a whole and are dependent one of each other [21]. The formal/informal couple refers to a network put in place in order for the measure to be implemented and it varies from a hierarchical organization to an ad-hoc creative network [22].…”

Since 2000, with the elaboration of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), a general agreement was achieved at the European level for implementing sustainable urban water management (SUWM) practices. However, there is criticism on the applicability of the WFD at the local level leading to disparities between administrative units of the same region or state (Andersson, Petersson, and Jarsjö 2012). Even so, research based on Australian cases revealed that regardless the regional or national legislation, discrepancies between administrative units have a local origin (M. Brown and Libeman 2004). This paper aims to present an interesting case of fit-for-purpose governance in Forest Municipality, Brussels Capital Region, Belgium, that is currently enabling the implementation of SUWM practices through a combination of top-down (the establishment of a municipal water department) and bottom-up (non-profit organizations, citizens' committees) management. Based on the investigation of the present water policies and on the mapping of the social-ecological systems, this paper evaluates the different governance structures and governance processes in relation to their outcomes in their transition towards SUWM practices.
