水资源管理部门正在应对的挑战是，面对干旱、人口增长和气候变化导致供应减少的预测，确保有足够的水来满足需求。为了制定有效的家庭用水需求管理计划，水资源管理人员需要了解影响家庭用水的因素。在对现有的水消费行为模型进行研究和重新分析之后，我们提出了一个新的模型来理解家庭用水量。我们认为，信任在家庭用水中起着重要作用，因为人们不会节约用水，如果他们觉得别人没有尽量减少他们的用水（人际信任）。此外，如果人们不信任水务当局（机构信任），他们就不太可能节约用水。本文提出，要充分了解参与因素，确定家庭用水信任对用水量的影响需要进行调查。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Water authorities are dealing with the challenge of ensuring that there is enough water to meet demand in the face of drought, population growth and predictions of reduced supply due to climate change. In order to develop effective household demand management programs, water managers need to understand the factors that influence household water use. Following an examination and re-analysis of current water consumption behavioral models we propose a new model for understanding household water consumption. We argue that trust plays a role in household water consumption, since people will not save water if they feel others are not minimizing their water use (inter-personal trust). Furthermore, people are less likely to save water if they do not trust the water authority (institutional trust). This paper proposes that to fully understand the factors involved in determining household water use the impact of trust on water consumption needs investigation. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
