Household water saving: Evidence from Spain

Aisa, Rosa (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Larramona, Gemma (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: This article focuses on household water use in Spain by analyzing the influence of a detailed set of factors. We find that, although the presence of both water-saving equipment and water-conservation habits leads to water savings, the factors that influence each are not the same. In particular, our results show that those individuals most committed to the adoption of water-saving equipment and, at the same time, less committed to water-conservation habits tend to have higher incomes.
