Climate change is reducing water resources in many parts of
Australia. Increasingly, higher risk sources are either being
developed or being considered for development as public drinking
water sources. There is a rising demand from the community for
additional recreation facilities and subsequent access to drinking
water catchments, as they are predominantly close to urban areas.
These competing factors place substantial pressure on public water
utilities to ensure the provision of safe drinking water. As the
health risk profile increases, there is a need for additional
barriers which may include new or upgraded water treatment
facilities. This report covers the methodological development in
the WaterRA project Public Perception of Source Protection and Its
Relationship to Recreation and Water Treatment. It aims to develop
a nationally applicable methodology to assist in the formulation of
defensible policy which provides for drinking water source
protection while accounting for recreational needs in surface water
catchments in Australia. This book is co-published with Water
Research Australia.
