“…It is observed that adults (99.1%) have a higher tendency to support the utilization of recycled wastewater for both potable and non-potable water compared to senior adults (97.6%) who are reluctant to utilize recycled wastewater as potable nor non-potable water. According to Daghighi et al (2020), one's willingness to utilize recycled wastewater be it for potable or non-potable uses typically decrease. This trend probably can be explained by how younger people have different views towards new technologies and are highly interested and supportive of living a sustainable life compared to the older generations as the younger have a whole life ahead of them.…”

Sustainable water resources management and social rights for equitable safe water and sanitation are the focal point for long-term economic growth and productivity, health and education. By 2030, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 that underlines the imperativeness of Clean Water and Sanitation aims at improving water quality by curtailing the rate and threat of pollution. This idea also aims at convincing the public on recycling water and safe water reuse. Indeed, global warming, water shortages, exponential growth of world's population and water pollution have caused significant impact on availability of the water resource throughout the globe. The trend of recycling wastewater has become one of the alternatives to reduce the pressure on the consumption of water resources. The key implementation for recycled wastewater derives from the intensive work in ensuring recycled wastewater is accepted by the public. Ergo, the challenge of the implementation is to remove the stereotype perception on the quality of recycled wastewater. The objectives of this study are to determine the acceptance of adults and senior adults to utilize recycled wastewater in the form of potable and non-potable water and to determine the correlation between the respondents' willingness in correspond to their age and education background. The survey was participated by the adults and senior adults' residents of Taman Bukit Perdana, Johor Darul Tazim and the data collected was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 27. Observations have found 77% of the respondents are willing to utilize the recycled wastewater. Adults range age between 18 -59 years old are more likely to support the utilization of recycled

“…38,39 Country-level studies have also highlighted differences in opinion regarding the use of wastewater. [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] Providing consumers with information regarding recycled water can help ameliorate their negative perceptions about it. 48 Bakopoulou et al 49 reported that using the media to provide information on wastewater treatment and reuse practices could encourage more people to accept the water source.…”

Oilfield Produced Water (OPW) has been identified as a viable solution to mitigate water scarcity in California‘s Central Valley. However, consumer perception on the use of OPW outside of the oil and gas industry remains unknown and poses a hurdle for large-scale adoption. This paper, based on 134 randomly selected residents of Kern County (California‘s largest oil-producing county and top agricultural region), examined attitudes towards OPW reuse. In the survey, more than half (52.3%) of participants said that they have heard about oilfield-produced water and other reclaimed waters. Findings also suggest that participants mostly preferred rain and stormwater, and interestingly scored OPW higher than industrial and black waters for irrigation purposes. Around 67% of the participants supported the use of oilfield-produced water for irrigating crops. Younger people (18–29 years) expressed greater concern about using OPW compared to the older residents. Given the drought conditions in Central Valley, policymakers might need to focus on a circular economy and mandate the use of OPW in Central Valley considering that this region‘s economy lies at the nexus of the O&G and agriculture industries.

“…Across gender, the acceptance of using reclaimed water has been studied in many countries and is usually increasing along a trajectory (Figure 5) from direct to indirect physical contact with the least preferred option being its use in drinking water reservoirs or to replenish groundwater . Variations between gender are locationspecific and can point at a higher rate of acceptance by men, as shown for example by Daghighi et al (2020) (Figure 6).…”

Resource Recovery and Reuse (RRR) is at the core of the circular economy and particularly important in an urbanizing world where cities as consumption hubs become vast sinks of usually wasted resources. To recover the value which wastewater and organic (food) waste, in particular, can offer agriculture, there are many entry and scaling barriers for entrepreneurs to realize the required potential of the circular economy, and these are even higher for women. Different challenges apply to efforts increasing safe reuse where resource recovery is already happening at scale, for example in the informal wastewater irrigation sector.
