NOTES


ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication is the thirteenth of its type and presents information on environmental behaviour and practices of Australian households in March 2007. Respondents were aged 18 years or older.


This edition focuses on 'Water use and conservation' and covers a range of issues including water sources, water supply, rainwater tanks and water saving measures.



ABOUT THE SURVEY

The data in this publication are derived from a supplement to the Monthly Population Survey. Please refer to the Explanatory Notes at the back of this publication for further details about the survey.



DATA COMPARABILITY

A set of changing topics rotate over a period of three years. The topics contained in this publication are compared with data collected in 1994, 1998, 2001 and 2004. Where applicable those data have been included in this publication to enable comparisons.


Prior to 1997, environment topics were surveyed using 'personal interview' methodology. From 1997 onwards, the 'any responsible adult' methodology has been applied. When comparing post-1997 and pre-1997 data, readers should be aware that some differences in the data may be explained by the change in methodology rather than the representing real changes over time.



ROUNDING

Where figures have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between sums of the component items and totals. Published percentages are calculated prior to rounding of the figures and therefore some discrepancy may occur between these percentages and those that could be calculated from the rounded figures.
