Understanding household attitudes to water conservation in Saudi Arabia: towards sustainable communities
In regions with limited freshwater resources, water conservation is crucial for sustainable resource management. This study investigates the links between household attitudes, information sources and water conservation policies in Saudi Arabia. The results reveal that over half the participants agree that water must be conserved, but three-quarters disagree they are obliged to conserve water. Water conservation behaviours were significantly associated with socio-economic characteristics. The study highlights the importance of human attitudes in developing effective water conservation strategies and complementing top-down public awareness approaches with bottom-up programmes using school curricula. This study can inform policymakers in designing effective water conservation policies.
