User perception of water culture from the Coronavirus-2019 pandemic

Abstract

Water stress as well as droughts in different latitudes of the planet, among other causes, cause conflicts over water, joined with the amounts that must be used due to the coronavirus pandemic as part of the health response, rethinks the importance of the vital liquid in the present. The purpose of the study is to know the population perception of the water culture in Tepic Nayarit, Mexico, based on the needs caused by the pandemic. The hypothesis establishes: the user has a low level (less than 50% acceptance) on knowledge, values and practices directed to the care of the vital liquid during the health emergency. The research is empirical, exploratory with a quantitative approach; uses an inductive statistical method, the instrument contains reagents made from the elements that are considered as edges of the concept. It should be noted that this type of research is unusual because the results are the product of consumer decisions. The main conclusion offers a response to the hypothesis; the user does not have a low level of culture (less than 50% acceptance), shows an average of 65.18%. However, it is considered insufficient, and it is recommended to incorporate specific actions that help raise the indicators of the subject. Likewise, it is proposed with the reagents applied, the conformation of a model that accesses to measure the water culture of the consumer. Finally, it is recognized that the theme exposed contributes to the sustainable use of water, a key element in life and sufficient reason to preserve it.
