文摘
- •
An analysis of 13000 high resolution observations on water tap use at two sites
- •
Water consumption via water saving taps is slightly higher than the conventional taps
- •
Strong link b/w the duration of flow and the volume discharged from taps
- •
Flow rate has very limited/no impact on the actual water consumption
- •
Almost 80% of tap use appears to be for the delivery of hot water
