“…Lastly, some studies have focused on the economic policy instruments adopted to encourage sustainable water use. Dalhuisen et al (2009) conducted a study on several European cities to analyse the water market for end users, focusing on the relevant characteristics of demand and supply, including market failures that warranted government intervention to regulate the market based on sustainability criteria. They analysed the potential of price instruments as well as the privatisation and liberalisation of the sector to encourage sustainable water consumption in urban areas.…”

The developed world has witnessed significant land changes since the second half of the 20th century. These include a process of intensive urban development, which is also accompanied by the growth in the urban population and housing. One of the outcomes of this process has been an increase in the consumption of resources, including water. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse the factors affecting water consumption and the areas studied in water-stressed regions of the developed world. A literature review of territorial studies examining the factors that affect urban water consumption in these areas was conducted methodologically. The results reveal that: a) a significant number of papers have been written on water consumption factors in areas where there is substantial urban growth; and b) North America and Australia, have been compared to the rest of the developed world (especially Southern Europe), recently (since 2000s) due to the expansion of the low-density urbanism in the last few years.

“…Otros estudios se vinculan con los instrumentos de la política económica para lograr un uso sostenible del agua. Dalhuisen et al, (2009), en un estudio llevado a cabo en varias ciudades europeas, ofrecen un análisis del mercado del agua para los usuarios finales, dedicando especial atención a las características relevantes de la demanda y la oferta, incluidos los fallos de mercado que justifican la intervención del gobierno para regular este mercado que satisface los criterios básicos de sostenibilidad. También Dalhuisen et al, (2002), analizaron las posibilidades de los instrumentos de fijación de precios, la privatiza-ción y la liberalización de contribuir a un uso sostenible del agua.…”

El mundo desarrollado ha vivido importantes transformaciones territoriales desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX . Algunos de estos cambios han sido el intenso proceso de urbanización, que a su vez, se ha traducido en un espectacular aumento de viviendas y población, al igual que la demanda de determinados recursos como el agua. En este sentido, la cuestión relacionada con el consumo de agua se ha convertido en un tema de estudio en las últimas décadas, principalmente, en aquellas áreas caracterizadas por la escasez de recursos hídricos y donde el proceso de urbanización ha sido más intenso. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar y poner de manifiesto cuáles son los factores que inciden en el consumo de agua a partir de un estudio bibliométrico. Los resultados indican una gran variedad de factores que pueden incidir en el consumo de agua y las principales áreas donde esta temática es estudiada.
