摘要

Much of the water conservation effort has focused on the technological advancement of water-using appliances in order to make them more water efficient.However, since user interaction with water-using appliances is a major influence on the amount of water used by the appliance, which is itself influenced by the habits, rituals, and expectations of water use, more research is needed that focuses on the user.This study uses a water use survey to assess user awareness of water issues and their attitudes to water conservation, in order to determine their influence on water saving behaviour of the user.The findings of the study show an overall mixed and limited awareness of the severity of water scarcity issues in the UK.While most users have a favourable attitude to water conservation, many give no thought to the amount of water they consume each day.While a number of users declare that they try to save water throughout the day, evidence shows that they tend to adopt simple water saving actions and the effect on water consumption is relatively small.Few take account of water consumption figures when purchasing new appliances and less than half of the users taking part in the survey had any type of water efficient appliance installed at home.However, the majority of users suggested that they would like to increase their knowledge of water stress issues and would welcome additional information about the environmental and financial consequences of wasting water, ways on how they can save water in the home, and more details information on water efficient appliances.This research shows that while there is a disparity between the positive attitude that users have towards water conservation and actual water saving action, there is a great opportunity to reduce household water consumption through improved user knowledge.
