The changing climate, rapid increases in global consumption, and shock events are increasing stress on water resources globally. For policy makers and water sector stakeholders tasked with reducing demand, and for academic researchers interested in understanding how these complex issues intertwine to create current and future water demand profiles, the shortcomings of individualized behavior change approaches driven by psycho-econometric understandings of resource consumption is increasingly evident. Since the early 2000s, social practice theory has been increasingly recognized as deepening understandings of the complex ways water is consumed and the dynamic factors that influence household demands. This review examines evidence of how social practice ideas are deployed in academic research in scope (theory; geographical; practices entities/performances; sites, locations, and temporality of practices; infrastructural configurations); methods (historical; talk—interviews, focus groups; diaries; ethnography and home tours; surveys; living labs, experiments, design methods; mixed methods); and implications (co-production; materiality; diversity; disruption and insecurity; inequalities) including for policy and practice. Emerging from the review is a set of ideas that demonstrate how to apply insights from social practice more effectively in water studies and in water management, aiding the exploration of new areas of enquiry, policies and mechanisms to enable less intensive patterns of water use. This review points to a need for increased collaboration across the water sector and wider stakeholders to enact deep and meaningful change to how water is supplied and consumed in society.

社会实践理论与家庭用水需求：文献和研究证据回顾

气候变化、全球消费的快速增长以及冲击事件正在加剧全球水资源的压力。对于负责减少需求的政策制定者和水部门利益相关者，以及对了解这些复杂问题如何相互交织以创建当前和未来水需求概况的学术研究人员来说，由对资源消耗的心理经济学理解驱动的个性化行为改变方法的缺点是越来越明显。自 2000 年代初以来，社会实践理论越来越被认为加深了对水消耗的复杂方式和影响家庭需求的动态因素的理解。本综述审查了社会实践思想如何在学术研究范围（理论；地理；实践实体/表演；实践的地点、位置和时间性；基础设施配置）；以及如何在学术研究中运用的证据。方法（历史；访谈、焦点小组；日记；民族志和家庭参观；调查；生活实验室、实验、设计方法；混合方法）；和影响（联合生产、重要性、多样性、破坏和不安全、不平等），包括政策和实践。审查中提出了一系列想法，展示了如何在水研究和水管理中更有效地应用社会实践的见解，帮助探索新的调查领域、政策和机制，以实现较低强度的用水模式。该审查指出，需要加强水务部门和更广泛的利益相关者之间的合作，以对社会供水和消费的方式进行深刻而有意义的改变。
