The goal of this study was to identify practical, cost-effective drinking water source protection measures in the Comarca Ngäbe-Buglé, a remote indigenous region of Panama. Water samples from 40 spring captures were tested for E. coli and total coliforms, and quality results were then compared with maintenance and source protection criteria using odds ratios. The water was contaminated; only two samples passed Panamanian drinking water standards--0 CFU/100 ml for E. coli and 3 CFU/100 ml for total coliforms. Mean E. coli was 187 CFU/100 ml and mean total coliforms was 2036 CFU/100 ml. Few odds ratio tests of source protection practices produced statistically significant results. However, the presence of animals within ten meters of the sour...
