Achieving a thorough understanding of the determinants of household water consumption is crucial to support demand management strategies. Yet, existing research on household water consumption determinants is often limited to specific case studies, with findings that are difficult to generalize and not conclusive. Here, we first contribute an updated framework for review, classification, and analysis of the literature on the determinants of household water consumption. Our framework allows trade-off analysis of different criteria that account for the representation of a potential water consumption determinant in the literature, its impact across heterogeneous case studies, and the effort required to collect information on it. We then review a comprehensive set of 48 publications with our proposed framework. The results of our trade-off analysis show that distinct groups of determinants exist, allowing for the formulation of recommendations for practitioners and researchers on which determinants to consider in practice and prioritize in future research.

透彻了解家庭用水的决定因素对于支持需求管理战略至关重要。然而，现有的关于家庭用水决定因素的研究往往仅限于具体案例研究，其发现难以概括且没有定论。在这里，我们首先贡献了一个更新的框架，用于对家庭用水决定因素的文献进行审查、分类和分析。我们的框架允许对不同标准进行权衡分析，这些标准说明了文献中潜在用水量决定因素的表示、其对不同案例研究的影响以及收集相关信息所需的努力。然后，我们使用我们提出的框架审查了一套全面的 48 种出版物。
