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.

在澳大利亚和海外的许多地区，水安全都处于危机关头。这项研究将使公民参与水资源保护和管理，并将产生一些有利于国家和社区利益的重大成果。这包括(1)设计有效的水管理策略，使两个截然不同的供水服务区域的住宅用户能够接受；(2)建立一个可推广和可复制的住宅家庭用水模式，突出当前水治理安排中公众信任的问题；(3)提出沟通和行为改变干预措施的建议，以提高用水效率和节约用水，并对区域差异敏感。
