摘要：Aims: Water resources in Scotland are under immense pressure despite the perception that Scotland enjoys abundant rainfall and water resources. The transport and treatment of water utilizes high amounts of energy is which contradicts the UK government’s carbon neutral agenda. There is also the need to ensure reliable water supply to households whilst protecting the natural environment. The intent of this study therefore was aimed to explore the feasibility of rainwater harvesting (RWH) as a domestic water supplement in some selected peri-urban areas in Scotland by understanding people’s perceptions, attitudes and behaviour towards RWH systems; and the preference for a community or individual system.
