全面了解水消费行为是设计高效用水策略的必要条件。尽管全球努力查明影响家庭用水的因素，但与农村地区家庭用水有关的因素尚未得到充分研究，特别是在供水得到改善的村庄。为了解决这一差距，我们调查了渭河流域8个村庄的247户家庭，这些村庄实施了三种改进的供水系统。结果表明，居民人均日生活用水量（L/d）与供水方式、菜园面积呈显著正相关，与家庭规模、户主年龄呈显著负相关。在供水得到改善的那些村庄，传统的卫生习惯、使用水器具和偏爱蔬菜种植仍然是主要行为。未来农村生活用水研究应更多关注用户生活方式（水器具使用习惯、户外用水）和文化背景（年龄、教育程度）。
Comprehensively understanding water consumption behavior is necessary to design efficient and effective water use strategies. Despite global efforts to identify the factors that affect domestic water consumption, those related to domestic water use in rural regions have not been sufficiently studied, particularly in villages that have gained access to improved water supply. To address this gap, we investigated 247 households in eight villages in the Wei River Basin where three types of improved water supply systems are implemented. Results show that domestic water consumption in liters per capita per day was significantly correlated with water supply pattern and vegetable garden area, and significantly negatively correlated with family size and age of household head. Traditional hygiene habits, use of water appliances, and preference for vegetable gardening remain dominant behaviors in the villages with access to improved water supply. Future studies on rural domestic water consumption should pay more attention to user lifestyles (water appliance usage habits, outdoor water use) and cultural backgrounds (age, education).
