Abstract:

The bachelor thesis focuses on the evaluation and description of current drinking water consumption with a focus on households in the Czech Republic. The goal of this work is to find the most influencing determiner in our households measured by consumption, as well as prove that our drinking water consumption can be lower than it already is. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part for water issue defines and introduces basic terms about water consumption and their types. Water economy, such as demand, supply, inelasticity and price stability. It also discusses the water industry, usage of water and water quality requirements. In-depth analysis will be used which will provide understating for the second part. The second, analytical part, evaluates results based on quantitative research in my own case study on water treatment in Czech households and their evaluation. This is followed by research of my own consumption of drinking water.
