[*] Policy Challenges in South Australia: Elements of the social contract resulting in high urban and agricultural use of Recycled Water. Risks to the social sustainability of the social contract.
Sunday, 13 May 2007
Professor McKay looks at water recycling law and policy initiatives in South Australia in the urban and rural sectors and how a complex mosaic of institutions, laws, and policies have aligned to embrace the concept. The social contract, however, is heavily reliant on trust by the community of the major provider SA Water and the Government agencies in general. The alignment processes provide lessons for other jurisdictions. Challenges for the future will be to maintain trust of the community and alignment of agencies and hence continue to enjoy social support for water recycling. Other options increasingly present themselves, such as desalination. The work reported here was supported by the CRC Water Quality and Treatment and the CRC Irrigation Futures. [View]
