      description => protected'Throughout the world, climate change, rapid population growth, and urbanisat
         ion raise the need for reducing freshwater consumption. One solution are on-
         site systems that treat wastewater for non-potable reuse near its source of 
         generation, for example within a building. Policies mandating their installa
         tion can effectively increase installation rates and have been implemented i
         n several cities. Yet, such policies have the potential to impair distributi
         ve fairness in society and therefore also policy acceptance, because usually
          they cover only part of the population, which then has to carry most costs 
         and risks. On the example of Bengaluru, India, where such a policy exists, t
         his online study (N = 350) analysed whether policy acceptance can be explain
         ed by the perceived policy outcome for different groups of society (i.e. the
          distribution of the policy's costs, risks, and benefits among these groups)
         , and whether this relation is mediated by perceived fairness. We further in
         vestigated whether these relations differed between participants covered and
          those not covered by the policy, since being personally affected may influe
         nce perceptions. Specifically, the outcomes for the following six groups wer
         e included: 1) participants themselves, 2) people covered by the policy, 3) 
         people with a low income who are covered by the policy, 4) people vulnerable
          to water insecurity who are covered by the policy, 5) all inhabitants of Be
         ngaluru taken together, and 6) the environment and future generations. A mod
         erated mediation analysis showed that higher acceptance of the policy was ex
         plained by a higher perceived fairness, which, in turn, was explained by a b
         etter perceived outcome of the policy for different groups of society. Cover
         ed and non-covered participants differed with regard to which groups of soci
         ety they considered for evaluating fairness. While a better perceived outcom

         ot covered) explained pe...' (2550 chars)

      description => protected'In dealing with water pollution and freshwater scarcity, on-site treatment a
         nd reuse of domestic wastewater has shown to be a promising solution. To inc
         rease on-site wastewater treatment and reuse, some cities, among them Bengal
         uru in India, have mandated the installation and use of the necessary techno
         logy in certain building types. However, even with a mandate, a successful a
         nd sustainable implementation of the technology, including reliable operatio
         n, monitoring, and maintenance, depends on the acceptance (i.e. positive val
         uation) of the technology and its use by the (prospective) users. Literature
          on technology acceptance indicates perceived costs, risks, and benefits of 
         the respective technology as key predictors of acceptance. Therefore, the pr
         esent online study assessed this relationship for on-site systems in Bengalu
         ru. The relation was analysed separately for mandated users of on-site syste
         ms (<em>N</em> = 103) and current non-users (i.e. potential prospective us
         ers, should the mandate be expanded; <em>N</em> = 232), as the perceptions
          might differ between the two groups, due to the personal experience with th
         e technology among users. The results show that for mandated users and non-u
         sers, acceptance of on-site systems is explained by perceived benefits only,
          namely a positive image of users, environmental benefits, and, only for non
         -users, also financial benefits for the city. The findings suggest that inte
         rventions aimed at promoting on-site systems should include emphasis on the 
         benefits of on-site systems. Whenever possible, interventions should be tail
         ored to the target group's individual cost, risk, and benefit perception.' (1669 chars)
