‘Water metres’: a new approach to thinking about water conservation in suburbia (original) (raw)

Abstract

AI

The paper introduces the concept of 'water metres' as an innovative approach aimed at promoting water conservation in suburban Australia. It critiques existing water management strategies that rely heavily on centralized systems and large reservoirs, which have proven inadequate in addressing prolonged droughts and climate change impacts. By encouraging individuals to become more aware of their water usage and the concept of water scarcity, 'water metres' aims to drive cultural change towards more sustainable water use practices.
