| Zusammenfassung |
| The design of water awareness campaigns could benefit from knowledge of the
specific characteristics of domestic water use and the factors that may
influence certain water consumption habits. This paper investigates water
use in 450 households in 10 municipalities of drought-prone Alicante
(Spain). We aim to increase knowledge about existing domestic water
behaviors and therefore help to improve the design and implementation of
future water awareness campaigns and even to consolidate reductions in water
use after drought periods. The survey suggests that awareness campaigns
should revise their scope and their channels of
diffusion on a regular basis. In a more specific way, for the Alicante case we propose
policy-oriented recommendations on the scope of action for further reductions. |
