摘要
A goal of water sustainability in hospitals is to manage the use of water without causing unacceptable social, economic, or environmental consequences. This paper discusses the development of a hospital water sustainability causal model including the model validation process, and validation results. The model provides a systems thinking representation of water sustainability in hospitals.
