Demand management to achieve urban water security
Demand management involves communicating ideas, norms and innovating methods for water conservation across individuals and society; the purpose of demand management is to positively adapt society to reduce water consumption patterns and achieve water security. This chapter discusses the purpose of demand management strategies and describes the types of demand management strategies and instruments available to urban water managers. Water managers can use two types of demand management strategies to influence the norms and values of society towards water resources: antecedent and consequential strategies. The chapter explores how urban water managers need to develop portfolios of demand management tools to achieve urban water security. Regulatory and technological instruments are frequently used in the management of water and involve setting allocation and water‐use limits. Communication and information instruments encourage a water‐orientated society. In particular, communication and information tools aim to change behaviour through public awareness campaigns around the need to conserve scarce water resources.
