2. Evaluate public attitudes and values (acceptance/fear) and their relation to public health and ecosystem risk perception



3. Develop education campaign materials to increase acceptance of decentralized wastewater management and the potentially increased costs



4. Develop tools for effective public involvement



5. Develop tools for improving public awareness
