Water scarcity is a growing global challenge, requiring effective management strategies to ensure sustainable water use, particularly in regions like West Dorset, U.K., where rising prices and environmental pressures make consumption practices essential. This study develops empirically tests an integrated theoretical framework combining Prospect Theory (PT) Social Cognitive (SCT) examine the mechanisms driving household conservation. Using structural equation modelling on data from 429 residents Dorset (response rate 78.3%), we investigated how pricing (WP) perceived risk (PWR) influence through individual innovativeness (II) community engagement (CE), with regulations (ERs) as moderator. The results revealed significant positive effects of WP PWR innovativeness, which, turn, strongly predicted engagement. relationship between these factors was significantly moderated by ERs. makes three key contributions: Firstly, it validates PT-SCT conservation behavior. Secondly, identifies crucial mediating role II translating price perceptions into action; lastly, demonstrates regulatory frameworks can enhance or inhibit outcomes. These findings inform policy recommendations for tiered structures, community-based initiatives, adaptive frameworks. provides comprehensive model understanding promoting water-stressed worldwide.
