Using Perceived Landscape Benefits to Promote Water Conservation Behaviors in Urban Areas

Abstract

Because a large percentage of water used in urban areas can be applied through irrigation, home landscape management practices are an important factor of water conservation. The information in this 5-page document is the result of a cluster analysis used to identify meaningful subgroups among home irrigation users to encourage water conservation behaviors.
