Abstract
El litoral de la provincia de Alicante es una de las áreas costeras españolas más dinámicas en
términos urbanísticos y turísticos. Durante las últimas décadas el desarrollo urbanístico ha
conducido a la extensión de un modelo turístico-residencial en el sector costero, caracterizado
por la proliferación de viviendas secundarias y tipologías urbanas de baja densidad, que ha
tensionado el frágil equilibrio hídrico provincial. Sin embargo, desde mediados de la primera
década del siglo XXI, la tendencia en el consumo urbano de agua ha sido regresiva. A partir de
la elaboración de una base de datos sobre consumo urbano de agua en los municipios del litoral
Mediterráneo, esta investigación supone una primera aproximación al estudio de los factores
explicativos del consumo doméstico de agua en el litoral de Alicante para el periodo 2000-2014.
A partir de un análisis descriptivo de varios factores urbano-turísticos, demográficos y
económicos y su relación con los módulos de consumo per cápita a escala municipal, se
concluye que las mayores diferencias en el consumo doméstico de agua se explican por el
modelo urbano, la presencia de extranjeros procedentes de la Unión Europea y la proporción de
viviendas secundarias.
The coastline of the province of Alicante is one of the most dynamic Spanish coastal areas in urban and tourist terms. During the last decades, urban development has led to the extension of a tourist-residential model in the coastal sector, characterized by the proliferation of secondary housing and low-density urban typologies, which has stressed the fragile provincial water balance. However, since the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, the trend in urban water consumption has been regressive. Based on the development of a database on urban water consumption in the Mediterranean coastline municipalities, this research is a first approach to the study of the explanatory factors of the domestic water consumption in the coastline of Alicante for the period 2000-2014. Based on a descriptive analysis of several urban-tourist, demographic and economic factors and their relationship with the per capita water consumption at municipal level, it is concluded that the greatest differences in domestic water consumption are explained by the urban model, presence of foreigners from the European Union and the proportion of secondary housing.
