About the 2012 Xylem Value of Water Index

The 2012 Xylem Value of Water Index is based on a telephone study of 1,008 American voters age 18 years and older and an oversample of 250 New York City residents. The national sample of voters is representative of the 2006 U.S. voting population on gender, age, region and ethnicity. The margins of error at the 95 percent confidence level are +/- 3.1 percent for the voter sample, and +/- 6.2 percent for New York City oversample. The study was approximately 30 minutes in duration, utilizing computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) technology. The study was conducted between August 16 and 23, 2012.

The Value of Water Survey has been conducted twice; it was first issued in 2010. The 2012 study builds on the 2010 results, providing new insights into public perception of the U.S. water crisis.
