Abstract

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) and the diagnosis of flora, mainly of native plants in micro-watersheds such as the Sumpul River, are relevant to understanding the sustainability of communities and the quality of bodies of water. Likewise, it is crucial to understand the dynamics between communities and the water resource for mitigation activities. The study aims to determine the flora present at the site and the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to the Sumpul River.
