The interpretation of the
information gathered, provided data that needed to be organized,
as well as classified. In this manner, the level of knowledge
in the community, about a water treatment plant was assessed;
and later, their knowledge in the treated water's uses - namely
for plant irrigation and industrial services-.
A second finding gave way to clarify
the benefits Tijuana would enjoy if these waters were to be
treated; since 97.2% of the people consider it beneficial.
In response to the issue of water sufficiency
in Tijuana, its scarcity was revealed; being that 87.1% mentioned
its apparent scarcity in the city. In addition to this, a
third finding was the fact that this perception was more clear
among women rather than in men surveyed.
There were important findings with
relation to the construction, and so, in the necessity of
a water treatment plant; in addition, the people surveyed,
see the support they would give for the installation of such
a plant as plausible.
The information gathered reveals the
opinion of people over 18 years of age, from both genders,
and of various social and economic levels. Following, in order
to better visualize and detail the results, graphical displays
