However, the quality of this water is often questionable, as authorities lack the capacity to properly check refilling depots. Given that refillable bottled water not only replaces unimproved water sources, but also better-quality sources, like piped and branded bottled water, its increasing use poses a major health risk. We investigate the motives behind the decision to switch to refillable bottled water in Indonesia. Findings indicate that this switch is driven by lifestyle motives, as well as by cost and availability considerations. It is mostly the young affluent households who switch from piped and \u2018other\u2019 sources to refillable bottled water. In rural areas, the tendency to make this switch is negatively affected by availability problems and the higher price of refillable bottled water. Availability and cost also influence the switch from branded bottled to refillable bottled water, but here it is the poorer households who have a higher propensity to switch. Further exploration of the lifestyle motive and affordability issues, as well as better monitoring of the refilling depots, are needed to improve the quality of drinking water in Indonesia and other emerging countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wh.2017.319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,26]],"date-time":"2017-09-26T00:10:53Z","timestamp":1506384653000},"page":"1004-1014","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The switch to refillable bottled water in Indonesia: a serious health risk"],"prefix":"10.2166","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Komarulzaman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Faculty of Economics & Business, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung 40132, Indonesia"},{"name":"Economics Department, Radboud University, Institute for Management Research, NijmegenThe Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eelke","family":"de Jong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Economics Department, Radboud University, Institute for Management Research, NijmegenThe Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeroen","family":"Smits","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Economics Department, Radboud University, Institute for Management Research, NijmegenThe Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"945","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"2020032616243637300_JWH-D-17-00019C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1551-8833.2000.tb09051.x","article-title":"Risk perception and bottled water use","volume":"92","year":"2000","journal-title":"Journal AWWA-American Water Works Association"},{"key":"2020032616243637300_JWH-D-17-00019C3","first-page":"271","article-title":"Bottled water versus tap water: understanding consumer's preferences","volume":"42","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Water and Health"},{"key":"2020032616243637300_JWH-D-17-00019C4","unstructured":"Eflin\n          2008\n          \n            Monitoring System & Sanitation Hygiene Condition: Bacterial Quality of Refillable Water Depots in Morowali, Central Sulawesi (Manajemen pengawasan dan kondisi Higiene Sanitasi hubungannya kualitas bakteriologi air minum pada Depot Air Minum isi ulang di Kabupaten Morowali Propinsi Sulawesi Tengah)\n          .
