“…Meanwhile, key measures like sustainable water management have been introduced to address not only water scarcity problems but also its management. This follows suggestions denoting that a key number of water-related problems can easily be addressed by adopting sustainable water management practices [9,10,11].…”

“…This is because there are significant drivers like cultural activities that are exacerbating such problems. Besides, studies depict that the feasibility of attaining sustainable water management practices can be dim because of the existence of barriers undermining sustainable efforts [9,10]. To make matters worse, it is to the authors' knowledge that no studies are exploring the drivers and barriers of sustainable water management practices in Kurdistan.…”

This study identifies and examines drivers and barriers toward effective integrated and sustainable management and governance practices based on ecosystem services’ perspective of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq’s water management area. A combination of a systematic literature review and 28 individuals from Ankawa, Kasnazan, Haran City, Eskan, Bakhtiari, Tairawa, Mastufi, Khabat and Saiudawa were randomly interviewed. The decisions to use residents of these areas are based on their location as well as mixed challenges and conditions regarding water supply and use based on their social and economic statuses. The responses were analysed using NVivo 12 and the results of the study indicated that there have been substantial increases in environmental and ecosystem services awareness has been a key driver of heightening sustainability initiatives in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Additionally, the study reveals that lacking coherence between actors and sectors concerning natural resource governance is a major obstacle to undermining sustainable water management initiatives. It is inferred through the established findings that sound leadership, localized, decentralised management structures, and sustainable developments are pivotal for enhancing the water management efforts in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Moreover, local water suppliers, residents, farmers and decision-makers are encouraged to adopt additional and sound water monitoring practices to improve ecosystem services and valuable contributions toward improving human beings’ well-being.

“…If people's efforts go unchecked, the reckless use of water will bring catastrophic changes to the world. More than half of the world's population is projected to be chronically water-deficient by 2050 [5], and governments and policymakers worldwide are focusing on reducing water consumption [6].…”

“…Water end-use studies were undertaken in several parts of the world, indicating that parameters like geography, proximity to water sources, education, socio-economic development, environmental beliefs, population size, and climatic conditions govern water consumption patterns within a population [6]. Determinant socio-demographic factors such as income, gender, education and geographical conditions create accuracy for better urban water management.…”

“…For example, water consumption for laundering and bathing differs among each region's income settings. This is made possible by how the community engages in activities such as bathing and laundering (using machines or tools) [6]. On this basis, it is necessary to know how differences in social demographic and economic conditions affect the quantity of end-use water to provide a regional policy approach.…”

The present paper reviews the recent perspectives of end-use studies as a part of urban water crisis mitigation within the past decade in various regions in Indonesia. The paper integrates a critical review of water-end use consumption from five major islands in Indonesia. Comparative methods were used to determine the domestic water consumption behaviour from the collected data from 2013 to 2020. Furthermore, the collected data were classified into two major groups (i.e., regions on Java Island and regions on non-Java Island). At the end, this review reflected a different pattern between domestic water consumption in various socio-economic regions in Indonesia and expected to provide strategies that could be used to mitigate the urban water crisis in the future.
