Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Potable water reuse is confronted with persistent acceptance problems. Whereas many technological challenges have been solved, the social context of this disruptive innovation is not well understood. Existing efforts take a psychological ‘acceptance’ perspective and focus on overcoming the end-user’s ‘yuck-factor’. This project complements this narrow approach with a broader ‘legitimacy’ framework. It analyzes public perception of potable reuse from a historical, sociological perspective. Through a comprehensive reconstruction of California’s potable reuse history and an in-depth analysis of successful and unsuccessful legitimation strategies it creates novel analytical approaches and practical recommendations for supporting this innovative water technology.
