Abstract :
Today, energy consumption in our country has become one of the serious concerns of politicians, especially in the domestic water consumption sector. And due to Iran being located in the dry and waterless part of the world and its dire need for drinking water, this concern has intensified. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of lifestyle on the water consumption of families in Sari County. The method of this research is survey and descriptive studies and also includes correlational research. A questionnaire was used to collect data and information. The findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the consumeristic-hedonistic lifestyle and the couple's education and the amount of water consumption. But there is a negative and significant relationship between the age of the couple and the amount of water consumption. Also, the findings of this research showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the couple's income and the consumeristic-hedonistic lifestyle. But there is a negative and significant relationship between the age of the couple and the consumerist-hedonistic lifestyle.
