Funded Activity Summary

Interactions between Social, Economic and Regulatory Aspects of Residential Household Water Consumption. Water security is at crisis point in many Australian regions and overseas. This research will engage citizens in water conservation and management, and will have a number of significant outcomes that will benefit national and community interests. These include (1) devising effective water management strategies that are acceptable to residential customers in two contrasting water service regions, (2) a generalisable and replicable model of residential household water consumption that highlights the issues of public trust in current water governance arrangements, and (3) recommendations for communication and behaviour change interventions that promote water-use efficiency and conservation, and are sensitive to regional differences.
