Behaviour interventions for water end use: An integrated model

Water authorities are facing the challenges to guaranty the need of consumers and water saving due to the climate change. In order to solve the problems, engineers need to understand how consumers use their water and their water use behaviours. This research is to re-analyse the effective technologies for researching the water use behaviours (behavioural models) in the water end use field, and proposes an integrated model for better understanding water end use behavioural intervention. It is recommended that the self-regulation attitude and the process of behavioral change play important roles and influent greatly on the behavioural intervention of water end use. An expanded theory of planned behavior model is used as the basis in the model and self-regulation theory also is adapted to modify the interventions. The integrated model proposed in this paper is to better understand the details of water end use behaviours, and intervention and its impact of energy saving.
