I would suspect a correlation more with climate. If it's temperate, you don't shower as much as when you're hot and sweaty all the time.
Also, geothermal power exists.
I was gonna say with the prevelance of air conditioning. In warmer places that have ample water supply but little AC, i would expect more showers as people sweat throughout the day and don't want to be stinky.
I shower once a day in the morning, but i almost never sweat because im almost always in the AC.
Hot water is also a waste byproduct of nuclear power generation. There are whole towns that use nuclear heated water to warm their houses and for hot water. It's used quite a bit in Russia and china already

Interesting! I didn't know that, but it makes sense.
