With data from 267 farmers, this study analyzes level these and farmers’ perception water quality, existing regulatory measures their implementation strategies. In general, perceive quality be above average indicate strong opposition penalties for non-compliance.

These findings point need increased dissemination requirements both at national regional levels technical institutional support future incentives.
