控制卡塔尔居民生活用水量:评价

卡塔尔由于社会经济高速发展,人口大量增加,水资源存在严重问题.市政给水依靠高成本和不可持续的海水淡化,而对用水几乎没有限制,卡塔尔本国居民不用付水费,外国移居者付补助性的水费--大约1/3的成本费用,因此人们很少意识到水的真正成本,用水极其浪费.这篇文章讨论的是卡塔尔的用水趋势及与可持续用水有关的问题.一个针对卡塔尔社会各阶层的问卷调查了人们对水的意识和态度,结果显示,原有为了控制用水量而做的努力,如提高意识宣传活动、法律上的限制及水费是无效的.问卷评价了对限制用水可采取的措施的反应,其中有提高公众意识、使用法律措施和提高水费,从中提出一系列改变政策的建议,促使卡塔尔给水工业进入可持续发展阶段.
