More efficient showers can be achieved by using efficient technologies – mainly efficient showerheads – as well as through the adoption of sustainable habits, such as reducing shower frequency and duration. A review of the websites of water utilities in cities of OECD countries shows little effort to promote water-saving shower habits. Addressing this shortcoming would improve the sustainability of water use, compared with the current focus on efficient technologies.}, organization = {European Regional Development Fund}, organization = {Agencia Estatal de Investigación}, organization = {Consejería de Economía, Innovación, Ciencia y Empleo, Junta de Andalucía}, publisher = {Taylor & Francis}, keywords = {Water-saving tips}, keywords = {Water utilities}, keywords = {Water conservation}, keywords = {Saving shower habits}, title = {Promoting water conservation habits in shower use: review of water utility websites in OECD cities}, doi = {10.1080/02508060.2022.2052662}, author = {González Gómez, Francisco José and López Ruiz, Samara and Tortajada, Cecilia}, }
