“… Tshililo et al (2024) also confirmed that higher levels of education were more likely to accept reclaimed water. Similarly, Li et al (2020) employed a meta-analysis to investigate the role of various social demographic factors in influencing individuals’ re-cycled water acceptance.…”

IntroductionThe development of advanced sewage technologies empowers the industry to produce high-quality recycled water, which greatly influences human’s life and health. Thus, this study investigates the mechanism of individuals’ adoption of recycled water from the technology adoption perspective.MethodsEmploying the mixed method of structural equation modeling and artificial neural network analysis, we examined a research model developed from the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) framework. To examine the research model, this study employs a leading web-survey company (Sojump) to collect 308 valid samples from the residents in mainland China.ResultsThe structural equation modeling results verified the associations between the six predictors (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, environmental motivation, and price value), individuals’ cognitive and emotional attitudes, and acceptance intention. The artificial neural network analysis validates and complements the structural equation modeling results by unveiling the importance rank of the significant determinants of the acceptance decisions.DiscussionThe study provides theoretical implications for recycled water research and useful insights for practitioners and policymakers to reduce the environmental hazards of water scarcity.

“…From the above, it can be seen that the use of wastewater for irrigation always needs to be thoroughly evaluated for specific conditions and risks versus benefits need to be assessed [26][27][28]. For the time being, there are no uniform and clear rules for the use of wastewater for irrigation and they vary considerably from country to country [29].…”

Irrigation with Treated Wastewater as an Alternative Nutrient Source (for Crop): Numerical Simulation

et al. 2021

From a global perspective, drought is a well-known manifestation of climate change. The search for alternative sources of water also brings uncertainties and risks, for example, in relation to wastewater irrigation. We asked ourselves whether and how supplemental irrigation with pre-treated wastewater would affect the subsoil or groundwater quality. We constructed semi-operational models that were loaded with wastewater in a controlled manner over three years of observations. Ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) pollution is one of the monitored parameters in wastewater discharge. In specific situations and under strict operating conditions, it can be assumed that ammonia nitrogen may not be a significant problem for groundwater. Already at a depth of 0.5 m below ground level, the average nitrogen levels are below 0.02 mg/L at an irrigation rate of approximately 15.5 mm/day. When monitoring total phosphorus (TP), these values are reduced with more variability—depending on the plant species at the surface, ranging from 0.17 to 0.95 mg/L. The measured values are used to calibrate the numerical model, or to determine the reaction parameters that enter the governing equation to describe the distribution of the solution in the soil environment. The results show an acceptable compliance between the model and real measurements, it will be possible to use them in practice for the design of wastewater irrigation systems.

“…A total of eight selected articles cover three hot topics in the water-technology panorama. Some papers are devoted to the analysis of state of the art and barriers (e.g., public acceptance) in the cited fields, also by carrying out meta-analysis [7,8] and by focusing on water quality [9,10]. A total of three published papers deal with innovative processes to remove organic micropollutant by means of biological treatment, adsorption or advanced oxidation processes [11][12][13].…”
