Abstract

Water is considered as one of the important components for the existence of life on earth. Conflicts for water are being engaged, everywhere around the globe, even in the high rainfall recorded countries. There are arguments running about taking lead to own, manage, access, profit, control, and regulate the scarce resource - WATER. The increase in population and arising of houses culminated in the demand for water every day. In spite of the reality, NGOs, environmentalists, conservationists, ecologists solicit people for conservation, efficient usage thereby reducing the level of water via hi-tech innovation; rather there is an increase in the consumption of water. It is believed that a major portion of water can be saved when water-based household chores are being carried out following traditional methods comparatively using labor-saving devices. There is a vast disparity in the volume of water used by the homemaker themselves and by the paid worker. With this in mind, a micro-level study on the Micro-Component Review of Domestic Water Consumption in Selected Households of Coimbatore City has been initiated with the objective to study the water consumption following traditional method and by using modern hi-tech equipment as well as water utilized for household chores by the homemaker and by the paid worker.
