Between 1996 and 1998, the Water Resources Bureau in the Republic of China
sponsored some twenty public schools in a pilot program to improve their water
use efficiency. These schools were required to install flow restrictors for faucets,
dual-flush-toilet conversion kits, wastewater reusing system, and/or rainwater
utilitzation system. This paper used multicriteria to evaluate the successfulness
of the pilot program. The criteria included actual water consumption, users' satisfaction
with the water devices and with the conservation policies of the schools, and students'
and their parents' awareness of water issues. On the basis of these criteria, the
sponsored schools were compared to nonsponsored schools. Problems in finding
comparable nonsponsored schools and in promoting the pilot program were also discussed. Includes 2 references, tables.
