conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Tingyi Lu, Ian K. SmoutThe research city Harbin, one of the cities suffering from water shortage, is located in north-eastern. In the
absence of data on domestic water consumption, a field study was carried out in order to obtain information
on domestic water using behaviour, water appliance characteristics and ownership; the domestic water use
pattern was then determined on the basis of the study results. This study indicated that there was domestic
water-saving potential in the research city and promotion of water efficient appliances would have a positive
impact on water-saving for both the home and the municipal water supply system.
