Abstract

Develops a better understanding of public concerns and potential opposition to indirect potable reuse. Provides an array of approaches (i.e., a toolkit) for utilities to use in working with stakeholders in order to improve planning and implementation of reuse projects. Also provides guidance on using the toolkit and on defining and targeting the resources needed for success. WateReuse Foundation published a best practices document in 2004 and tools and a Web site in 2006. Research partner: WateReuse Foundation. (Out of Print)
