Behavioural Nudges for Water Conservation in Unequal Settings Experimental Evidence from Cape Town

Abstract: These findings indicate that behavioural messages can promote water saving even when used on top of more conventional DSM tools. In fact, the five-month nudge campaign of early 2016 led to sufficient sustained savings over the subsequent two-year period to delay the city’s final crisis point by almost three weeks – enough time for the first rainfall to arrive.
