摘要

由于土地利用和人口增长,全球河流水质和水量正在下降。需要加强河流管理,包括当地流域居民的投入,以维持这一资源。作为一个国际框架,综合水资源管理(IWRM)旨在支持水系统的包容性治理。厄瓜多尔是将水资源综合管理作为指导的国家之一,尽管该国对水质的研究很少。我们的案例研究描述了对厄瓜多尔南部城市Loja的水质和感知进行综合评估的研究过程和结果,该城市流经两条河流:里约热内卢Zamora和里约热内卢Malacatos。我们的团队试图对这些河流和支流的水质进行生物物理和感知测量,并与来自特洛亚大学和爱达荷大学的教师研究人员合作,在本科生和早期研究生中建立跨学科研究技能。在这篇案例文章中,我们专注于这个跨学科项目的社会科学维度的过程和结果,描述了如何使用调查和访谈来建立我们对生物物理水质测量与流域内不同社区水质感知之间联系的理解。读者将了解开展跨学科、国际团队项目的可能性,以回答应用社会环境问题,以及设计此类研究时应预见的挑战。

Factors Influencing Water Quality Perceptions in an Urban and Rural Watershed in Southern Ecuador
River water quality and quantity are declining globally as a result of land use and population growth. Enhanced river management that includes input from local watershed residents is needed to sustain this resource. As an international framework, integrated water resources management (IWRM) aims to support inclusive governance of water systems. Ecuador is one of the countries that has looked to IWRM as a guide, though little research on water quality is available in the country. Our case study describes both the research process and outcomes of an integrated assessment of water quality and perceptions in the south Ecuador city of Loja, through which flow two rivers: Rio Zamora and Rio Malacatos. Our team sought to take both biophysical and perceptual measures of water quality in these rivers and tributaries and build interdisciplinary research skills among undergraduate and early graduate students in collaboration with faculty researchers from the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja and the University of Idaho. In this case article, we concentrate on the process and results of the social scientific dimension of this interdisciplinary project, describing how surveys and interviews were used to build our understanding of the connections between the biophysical water quality measures and water quality perceptions of different communities within the watershed. Readers will learn about the possibilities of conducting interdisciplinary, international team projects to answer applied socioenvironmental questions along with challenges that should be anticipated when designing this kind of research.
