abstract = {In this paper, we present an agent-based model for exploring the
interplay of basic structural and socio-cognitive factors and
conventional water saving measures in the evolution of domestic
water use in metropolitan areas. Using data of Barcelona, we
discuss three scenarios that involve plausible demographic and
cultural trends. Results show that, in the three scenarios,
aggregate outcomes are consistent with available conventional
modelling (while total water use grows, per capita water use
declines); however, the agent-based simulation also reveals, for
each scenario, the different dynamics of simple policy measures
with population growth, cultural trends and social influence;
thus providing unexpected insights for policy design.},
