Increasing population and changes in household types (i.e. more single households, which show higher water needs on average) are expected to increase the demand for public water supply. In addition, the role of household income is ambiguous. On the one hand, increased income has led traditionally to the adoption of better living standards and has been considered as a factor increasing water use per individual. On the other hand, nowadays, higher household income can result in more rapid access to novel and more water and energy efficient household appliances, better maintenance and timely replacement. Thus, it could be a factor contributing to lower water consumption in households.
