Our project supported the work of the Empresa Pública Municipal de Telecomunicaciones, Agua Potable, Alcantarillado, y Saneamiento de - Cuenca (ETAPA-EP) to protect water sources in Quingeo, Ecuador. We designed a set of strategies to promote awareness among three groups - in Quingeo about the impacts of common cattle ranching practices on the water supply. We conducted interviews and collected survey data - from two different communities to understand the audiences' perceptions of these practices. The data revealed that the community members - are unaware of the factors that promote harmful ranching practices and of better alternatives. We proposed and tested community outreach - activities and provided recommendations to ETAPA about how to continue promoting awareness in Quingeo.
