Abstract

In this article we present the importance of water for domestic consumption in the district of La Chorrera, republic of Panama. Population growth, rapid economic development, urbanization, adverse effects of global climate change and environmental deterioration itself continue to increase pressure on water resources, thus already registering conditions of apparent scarcity, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas with low or no public investment in water security. It is noted that, with regard to the use of water, there are already demonstrations throughout the national territory, in the different provinces, districts, corrections, places or communities, about the lack of vital resource for different reasons. For the development of the study is taken as a technique, the elaboration of structured surveys to a random sample of adult men and women of the district of La Chorrera. Through which you expect to know the different mechanism that the population uses to obtain water for domestic use in the community. It is recommended to establish national policies that focus the change on the mentality of the population with the importance of caring for and making rational use of water.
