Improving efficiency in water use and conservation in Spanish hotels

Abstract

[EN] Hotels are a fundamental component within the tourist Spanish sector, and its role in water management turns out more relevant taking into account the fact that tourist areas, in which they are generally located, are water scarce. Trying to go further from the standard ratios and estimations to plan water conservation, this work intends to really measure and quantify water use in rooms. Only by doing this, later conservation actions, now able to be reliably specified for each specific use, could achieve a real success.
