A literature search was carried out through search engines, Open Access directories, virtual libraries and databases, forming a corpus of 29 articles. In the results, three existing approaches or schools of SR were identified within the framework of the term water, as well as an inventory in which 11 types of SR of water were identified, and another with methodological tools and studies where the presence of predictive factors of pro-environmental behavior.
