Abstract
This paper describes the experimental design and engineering of the la rgest contemporary survey of domestic water consumption in the UK.

Significant findings include (a) the range of per capita consumptio n, (b) relationships to explanatory variables, (c) components of consu mption including legitimate night flows, and (d) the contributions of specific domestic appliances.
