Abstract
Survey research was conducted in ten California communities to assess behavior toward recreational facilities supplied with reclaimed water, to gauge beliefs and knowledge concerning California's water resources, to measure attitudes toward various possible uses of reclaimed water, and to record basic demographic data on the respondents participating. Approximately 100 respondents were interviewed in each town studies. Results showed low to moderate usage of existing reclamation facilities with nonuse due to factors other than the character of the water supply. Most respondents were not convinced that California needed new water supply at the present time and most were unsure about the character of four possible new sources of supply: desalinized, demineralized ground, reclaimed waste, and imported surface, water.
