BACKGROUNDRecent policies introduced to improvewater quality have focussed on raisingland managers’ awareness regardingdiffuse pollution.This is expected to increase uptake ofmeasures designed to help reducediffuse pollution, and improve waterquality.This research answers the following:1. what is the evidence base of theawareness-behaviour-water qualitypathway?2. Which factors (potentially) affectthis pathway?3. Which aspects of the pathway andwhich variables have received littleor no attention?Uncovering the evidence base of the awareness-behaviour-water quality pathwayan interdisciplinary review of diffuse agricultural water pollutionMurat Okumah*, Pippa Chapman, Julia Martin-Ortega and Paula Novo*ee15sa@leeds.ac.ukFunding: University of Leeds’ International Doctoral Scholarship (2017-2020). Thanks to Marie Ferre.METHODOLOGYSystematic review: -Peer-reviewed publications-Europe and North America-Empirical evidence 609 papers found; 19 papers analysedRESULTS AND DISCUSSION• No primary study investigates thewhole awareness–behaviour–waterquality pathway.• Mixed evidence for the differentcomponents of the pathway.• Situational factors were thecommonly reported moderators.• Studies overlook the joint effect of psychosocial andbiophysical factors• Mechanisms and the conditions under which this happensremain understudied.CONCLUSIONS• An in-depth understanding of the pathway is needed for the design and implementationof context-specific and effective policies.• Need to develop an integrative model in which water quality is dependent onawareness, with behavioural change as a key mediator.• All other factors identified to (potentially) influence the pathway act as ‘other’mediators and/or moderators of these relationships..71452012345678Number of  studiesPositive Mixed No effect177 765 54 4 43 3 3 3 3 32 2 2 21 1 1 1 1 1024681012141618Number of studiesOrange = factors directly affecting awareness and behaviour;Blue = factors directly affecting water quality;Black = factor affecting awareness, behaviour and water quality
