Water end use feedback produces long-term reductions in residential water demand

摘要: This paper reports on a study of household water use, which trialled three different interventions designed to reduce consumption. Two hundred and twenty-one households in South East Queensland (SEQ) were divided into four groups - intervention types one control group their ongoing daily consumption was monitored before, during after the intervention. In information only condition, received general advice about how they could save water. descriptive norm saving along with numbers other "low use households" that used these same behaviours. end-use feedback tips tailored specific where being own household. Longitudinal analysis showed conditions resulted savings quite rapidly, but changes lost over time, as later returned pre-intervention levels. by contrast, declined more slowly, effect this longer-lived. Implications for future domestic are discussed.
