“…However, Agthe et al [1986] suggest that constructing simultaneous equations for short‐ and long‐run elasticities can help to correct the bias. This method has been supported in more recent research [ Espey et al , 1997; Torregrosa et al , 2010]. Torregrosa et al [2010] found that constructing a simultaneous equation model corrected for multicollinearity and serial autocorrelation while allowing the endogenous dependent variables to be simultaneously and jointly determined by a set of exogenous factors.…”

[1] In this paper, we use a theoretical framework of coupled human and natural systems to review the methodological advances in urban water demand modeling over the past 3 decades. The goal of this review is to quantify the capacity of increasingly complex modeling techniques to account for complex human and natural processes, uncertainty, and resilience across spatial and temporal scales. This review begins with coupled human and natural systems theory and situates urban water demand within this framework. The second section reviews urban water demand literature and summarizes methodological advances in relation to four central themes: (1) interactions within and across multiple spatial and temporal scales, (2) acknowledgment and quantification of uncertainty, (3) identification of thresholds, nonlinear system response, and the consequences for resilience, and (4) the transition from simple statistical modeling to fully integrated dynamic modeling. This review will show that increasingly effective models have resulted from technological advances in spatial science and innovations in statistical methods. These models provide unbiased, accurate estimates of the determinants of urban water demand at increasingly fine spatial and temporal resolution. Dynamic models capable of incorporating alternative future scenarios and local stochastic analysis are leading a trend away from deterministic prediction.Citation: House-Peters, L. A., and H.

“…In fact, Spain is the European Union country with a greater number of second homes (Olcina, Saurí and Vera 2016), considered as such when they are not the usual place of residence and are used at least fifteen days per year (Torregrosa et al 2010). Real estate development in Spain cannot be understood without considering the strong investments made by foreigners .…”

Factors Affecting Domestic Water Consumption on the Spanish Mediterranean Coastline

During the last decades in the Spanish Mediterranean coastline there has been a great development of low density urban area, as well as a change of the sociodemographic structures, especially in the municipalities that have developed a residential tourism model. Likewise, urban and tourist development have stressed the balance between the availability of water resources and urban water demands, generating situations of scarcity which may be aggravated by climate change. This study identifies the determinants of water consumption in the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, focusing on the variables related to urban land uses, socioeconomic and sociodemographic variables at the municipal level using an ordinary least square (OLS) and a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. The GWR model results substantially improved the results of the OLS model, explaining 88.27 percent of the variance in domestic water consumption and solving the spatial autocorrelation problem of some independent variables. The most influential variables include the percentage of second homes or the percentage of residential properties with swimming pools at municipal level. These characteristics must be considered to develop demand management policies and an updated water planning to ensure urban supply in a future with less available water resources.

“…The coexistence of the so-called humid Spain (north and northeast of the country) with the south and south-east, known as dry Spain, together with a significant development of the tourist sector, a large water user, in the driest area of the country, has given rise to the emergence of water management practices with local characteristics [107]. In this context, water problems have two dimensions: the physical dilemma of irregular distribution in terms of time and territory, and the politico-institutional complexity of a management of water resources which has been focused for a long time on supply-side approaches associated with a series of negative environmental impacts, in particular, reservoirs, basin transfers and desalination [108].…”

Water Management and Irrigation Governance in the Anthropocene: Moving from Physical Solutions to Social Involvement

The rising water turbulence in the Anthropocene changes the water research and policy agenda, from a water-resource efficiency to a water resilience focus. Irrigation systems, as examples of complex social-ecological systems, deal with both the uncertainty of ecosystem dynamics and the interdependencies resulting from human needs. The water-agriculture nexus is context-dependent, socially constructed and technically uncertain, and it should be analysed as a hydrosocial cycle, which likewise takes into account the inseparability of social and physical aspects of water systems. Water management options have typically been categorized as either supply management or demand management, and even though physical solutions continue to dominate traditional planning approaches, these solutions are facing increasing social opposition. Focused on the Anthropocene dynamics, how to ensure stakeholders' involvement? The value of stakeholder participation is to reduce the rigid influence of the technocratic state by devolving greater decision-making power to users directly invested in, and knowledgeable of, the management of natural resources. This paper aims to review key questions about water governance in order to promote the transition from being problem-oriented to proactive and forward-thinking management tools by ensuring social learning.
