Design of educational strategies that allow raising awareness of the good use of drinking water in Sabanalarga Atlántico

Abstract

The design of educational strategies to raise awareness of the proper use of drinking water focuses on promoting knowledge and awareness of the importance of conserving this vital resource and encouraging responsible behavior. Water is an essential resource to maintain life in the ecosystem, but unfortunately it is being wasted in a worrying way. This form of waste has serious consequences for both nature and future generations. For this reason, we have developed an initiative with the aim of sensitizing the community about the negative impact that this has on our planet and fostering greater awareness to promote its improvement. The study used a research methodology with a qualitative approach that involved conducting surveys on a representative sample of 20 individuals from the population. In order to determine the use they give to drinking water from their homes. As a result of the surveys and interviews carried out, it was possible to verify that in the homes there was a notable waste of water in daily activities and in unauthorized vehicle washing practices. In addition, it was detected that some households resorted to fraudulent methods to avoid paying excessive bills related to water consumption.
