  • The decision regarding the need of water involves value judgments and would differ from person to person. People with smaller families will require less amount of water, whereas people belonging to large families will require more amount of water for consumption.
  • If one individual has to pay water bills for everyone, then he would want to reduce water consumption of the people.
