Abstract
Water scarcity is a growing global environmental issue driven by population growth, urbanization, climate change, and unsustainable water management. Understanding household water consumption, especially in urban areas, is critical for addressing this challenge. This research examines the complex relationship between environmental attitudes and water conservation behaviours in households, focusing on how pro-environmental views translate into water-saving practices. The study uses a combination of survey data and household water consumption metrics to assess how factors like wealth, education, and geography influence water use. Results show that while environmental attitudes strongly motivate water conservation, practical barriers like access to water-saving technologies and financial constraints impact the effectiveness of these behaviours. The study concludes that successful water conservation requires both attitudinal change and practical interventions such as financial incentives, education, and improved access to efficient technologies.
