Water Practices Analytical Toolkit by https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb The padlet is a requirements gathering exercise for our project toolkit. It aims to gather initial industry ideas on what the toolkit should include, please could you provide answers (these can be in note/bulletpoint form) to the following questions: 1)What are your thoughts on the brief outline of the toolkit in the updates email? 2) In the context of the aims of this project and a practice approach, what is the most important part of the toolkit for you/your team? 3) Is there anything specific you would like the toolkit to cover (e.g. how to use a practice approach, what is social practice theory, how to use this in demand forecasting, planning etc.)? Is there anything missing from our outline? 4) Practically, how would you like the toolkit to be hosted and delivered? (e.g. a readable report, info graphs, interactive elements, verbally/presentation style) en-us 2022-04-26 15:26:08 UTC 2022-06-23 11:27:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30a.png joecahill https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2180898436 is possible for the toolkit to consider segmentation of water use. Different demographics such as age, religion, affluence would all play a part in how individuals use water and then you can add to that the impacts weather and tourism - Scottish Water ]]> 2022-05-12 08:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2180898436 Would be useful if the toolkit could drill down how usage practices vary with subjective factors/ characteristics of water users, for example, in relation to the duration of showering, hair length, skin type, level of physical activity, exposure to weather elements etc. Such will be useful for predictive work & for better tailoring water efficiency campaigns - Waterwise https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2196192295 2022-05-23 16:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2196192295 https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2199448977 In addition to what has been said already, being aware of the weather will also help to understand how and when water might be used - is it going to be hot? (will my plants need watering, do I need to fill/top-up the paddling pool, keep the dog cool) is it going to rain (no need to water plants, or think about being in the garden.

There is also some evidence (collected by Artesia for an UKWIR project) that lifestages are linked to the time of the day when water is used. Is there anything in that sense that can be used too?]]> 2022-05-25 14:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2199448977 https://padlet.com/joecahill/zd07q4foxb1vewcb/wish/2199453250 Is there also consideration of the seasonality of water use? More water used potentially in the spring/summer than in the autumn/winter.

The times of day water is used and how this has differed since Covid in 2020. Can 'working from home' be identified through this?
Continuing effect of Covid on demand- impacts of this. 
Looking at the micro-components of demand. 
How to use in demand forecasting

Presentation as a 'how to use it'.
