Research Reveals Widespread Consumer Support For More Infrastructure To Secure Water Supply

As recognised leaders in water and environmental consulting, MWH recently commissioned a piece of independent research of Australian households to explore attitudes and behaviours toward water. In particular, we explored whether the prolonged drought, and years of water restrictions, have had a lasting impact. Or, now that the drought is easing in many parts of the country, are we reverting to old habits? What are the drivers of household water usage? Will increasing the price of water motivate Australians to reduce their consumption? How important is water to the Australian psyche? And, importantly, how concerned are Australians about the impact of the projected population growth on our water supply?
