This article addresses the process of designing and validating a questionnaire on the New
Water Culture, which aims to collect information on various issues related to water, such as its management, savings, and consumption. The questionnaire was subjected to a double validation process:
an evaluation by a panel of experts, including members of the New Water Culture Foundation, and a
pilot study, which allowed us to estimate the validation of the content as well as the corresponding
internal consistency of the questionnaire. The construction and validation process resulted in a
questionnaire consisting of 27 items with a total of 71 variables distributed in four sections: the first
is related to scarcity, quantity, and distribution of water; the second collects questions about the different dimensions of water; the third analyses the different ways of carrying out water management;
and the fourth and last section is related to personal actions associated with water. The reliability
study showed a Cronbach alpha of 0.913, which demonstrates the development of a robust and
reliable instrument allowing the identification of the most problematic issues associated with the
New Water Culture.
