This article focuses on household water use in Spain by analyzing the influence of a detailed set of factors. We find that, although the presence of both water‐saving equipment and water‐conservation habits leads to water savings, the factors that influence each are not the same. In particular, our results show that those individuals most committed to the adoption of water‐saving equipment and, at the same time, less committed to water‐conservation habits tend to have higher incomes.
