The use of residential water consumption as an urban planning tool: a pilot study in Adelaide

Abstract: This paper examines the water consumption patterns for different types of residential dwellings and areas in Adelaide, Australia. The method uses datasets regularly collected and maintained by a number of organizations to allow water consumption patterns to be analyzed and examined over time. The results suggest that water consumption varies between different types of residential dwellings, and areas, and that using metropolitan averages to measure national consumption patterns can be misleading. Importantly, … Show more

“…The variable, water price, is not considered in this study because it is only useful when comparing different geographical areas with different water prices. In addition, water consumption varied among different types of residential dwellings, while per capita consumption did not [28]. For a given place, the determinants reported in past research may not all have significant effects on residential water consumption.…”

“…Malauradament, sorprèn la poca atenció que s'ha prestat en la manera com el consum d'aigua per a usos domèstics varia a través d'àrees urbanes de característiques diferents i com aquest fet pot ésser utilitzat a l'hora de plantejar estils nous de planificació i gestió del territori (Troy i Holloway, 2004). No obstant això, se sap que la previsió de les provisions fiables d'aigua potable ha determinat durant molt de temps el desenvolupament urbanístic en països on aquest recurs no és abundant.…”

“…Diferents autors han introduït, en els seus models de demanda d'aigua per a usos domèstics, unes altres característiques de l'habitatge, com ara el nombre d'habitacions (Barkatullah, 1996;Dandy et al, 1997), la quantitat de cambres de bany (Chicoine i Ramamurthy, 1986;Barkatullah, 1996) o la mida de la parcel·la (Dandy et al, 1997;Pint, 1999;Troy i Holloway, 2004). Altres, com ara Domene i Saurí (2006) (2009), van incloure la tipologia de l'habitatge com a variable categòrica en els seus estudis respectius, en lloc d'utilitzar variables que descrivissin les característiques de la llar on resideix l'usuari.…”
