Methodology
This paper was prepared using the Survey on Homes and the Environment 2008, prepared by Spain’s Instituto Nacional de Estadística (Spanish National Statistics Institute), the purpose of which
was to study the customs, consumption patterns and attitudes of Spanish households in relation to the environment. In particular, those items related to water-saving and water-consumption behaviour have been used in this study. After eliminating uncompleted questionnaires, the final sample size was 26,689 households. Regarding water-saving behaviour, eight different aspects are analysed: (1) recycling water; (2) keeping a bottle of water in the fridge to have cool water; (3) thawing food in advance of use; (4) filling the kitchen sink(s) before washing up; (5) using the dishwasher and the washer machine at full load; (6) (semi) closing the stopcock to reduce the flow to taps; (7) turning off the tap while brushing one’s teeth or soaping, and (8) showering instead of bathing. Table 1 shows a descriptive analysis of the eight water-saving behaviours included in this paper.
