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

在澳大利亚的许多地区和海外，水安全正处于危急关头。这项研究将使公民参与水的保护和管理，并将产生许多有益于国家和社区利益的重大成果。这些措施包括：(1)制定有效的水管理战略，使两个不同供水服务区的居民用户能够接受；(2)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)对促进用水效率和节约用水并对地区差异敏感的沟通和行为改变干预措施提出建议。

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.
