Considering Water Reuse with Culturally Diverse Communities

Water Reuse and Communities ToolKit
Module 3: Considering Water Reuse with Culturally Diverse Communities
A report of a study funded by the Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence Victoria University, November 2014

A number of important considerations in public understanding of reuse need to be considered when working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities. Culture is key to shaping the ways in which not only the value and meaning of water is understood, but also the way important associated variables involved that underlie behaviour in relation to water are viewed. These include perceptions of risk, the environment and sustainability, and trust in authority. The 15 page report was published in 2014 by the Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence
