Three of them have different factors that affect the consumption level of water. Many factors like culture, food habits, working conditions, income, and technological advancement determine the requirement of water in any area. South Asia has been fortunate in having abundant fresh water reserve but the increasing population and overexploitation of surface and ground water over the past few decades has resulted in water scarcity in this region. Water availability in South Asian countries and their cities varies with area and socio-economic groups. That availability leads to varied water consumption patterns at domestic household. People in cities have access to water at all times and places which sent a wrong signal that the water is available in plenty. These type of wrong information leads to wastage of water at domestic household. While many people are known to the fact that water resources are declining day by day but their water consumption patterns at their household are not in favour of water resources conservation. More number of water appliances, bathing and washing habits, method of watering plants at home leads to wastage of water at home. On the other hand, accessibility to fresh and clean water is also a big question.
