Abstract
Report for The Centre for Water Sensitive Cities, Monash University, April 2012
This data report has been prepared as a milestone of Project 6 of the Cities as Water Supply Catchments (CWSC) program within the Centre for Water Sensitive Cities at Monash University. The aim of this study was to understand the risk perceptions of Australian urban water practitioners towards alternative water systems, and the influence of personal and professional characteristics, including attitudes, discipline and employment context, on those perceptions. The results were interpreted using a receptivity framework, to identify where efforts might be most effectively targeted and applied within the water industry to improve the adoption of alternative water systems, including stormwater harvesting and treatment systems.
