How can we individually recycle water? What should a good public awareness campaign contain in order to eliminate our natural negative reaction to recycled water (for example from sewages)?

Major advances in water
Major advances in water recycling can be made through large-scale recycling schemes such as:
groundwater replenishment, where high quality recycled water is stored in groundwater for use in drinking water supplies;
recycling to industry; and
providing recycled water to irrigate public parks, gardens and for horticulture.
Recycling water at a household level still has a role to play, although the water savings made through individual recycling systems are relatively small. Water recycling at household and community levels is supported where risks to human or environmental health are carefully managed in accordance with national guidelines and local regulation.
We will also to continue to work towards improving recycling at our sites, including reducing potable water use to less than 10% of all in-plant water use and investing in co-generation to harvest more energy from our wastewater treatment plants.
