Interactions between Social, Economic and Regulatory Aspects of Residential Household Water Consumption

水安全在澳大利亚许多地区和海外都处于危机点。这项研究将使公民参与水资源的保护和管理，并将产生一系列有益于国家和社区利益的重大成果。 其中包括：（1）在两个截然不同的供水地区，制定居民用户可接受的有效水管理战略;（2）一个可推广和可复制的居民家庭用水模式，突出公众对当前水治理安排的信任问题;（3）为促进用水效率和节约提出沟通和行为改变干预措施的建议，对地区差异敏感。

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.
