What’s Wrong with the Tap? Examining Perceptions of Tap Water and Bottled Water at Purdue University
Environmental management, 2011Co-Authors: Amber Saylor, Linda Stalker Prokopy, Shannon M. AmbergAbstract:The environmental impacts of Bottled Water prompted us to explore drinking Water choices at Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, IN. A random sample of 2,045 Purdue University students, staff, and faculty was invited to participate in an online survey. The survey assessed current behaviors as well as perceived barriers and benefits to drinking tap Water versus Bottled Water. 677 surveys were completed for a response rate of 33.1%. We then conducted qualitative interviews with a purposive sample of university undergraduates (n = 21) to obtain contextual insights into the survey results and the beliefs of individuals with a variety of drinking Water preferences. This study revealed that women drink disproportionately more Bottled Water then men while undergraduate students drink more than graduate students, staff and faculty. The study also uncovered a widespread belief that recycling eliminates the environmental impacts of Bottled Water. Important barriers to drinking tap Water at Purdue include: perceived risks from tap Water and the perceived safety of Bottled Water, preferring the taste of Bottled Water, and the convenience of drinking Bottled Water. The qualitative interviews revealed that drinking Water choices can be influenced by several factors—especially whether individuals trust tap Water to be clean—but involve varying levels of complexity. The implications of these results for social marketing strategies to promote tap Water are discussed.

Bottled Water: United States Consumers and Their Perceptions of Water Quality
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2011Co-Authors: Lois Wright Morton, Robert L. MahlerAbstract:Consumption of Bottled Water is increasing worldwide. Prior research shows many consumers believe Bottled Water is convenient and has better taste than tap Water, despite reports of a number of Water quality incidents with Bottled Water. The authors explore the demographic and social factors associated with Bottled Water users in the U.S. and the relationship between Bottled Water use and perceptions of the quality of local Water supply. They find that U.S. consumers are more likely to report Bottled Water as their primary drinking Water source when they perceive that drinking Water is not safe. Furthermore, those who give lower ratings to the quality of their ground Water are more likely to regularly purchase bottle Water for drinking and use bottle Water as their primary drinking Water source.
