Resumen
La creación de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales es una respuesta ante la necesidad de contar con un sistema que permita el tratamiento de las aguas servidas antes de que sean depositadas al acuífero, minimizando daños ambientales y sociales.
Las aguas residuales domésticas constituyen una de las principales formas de contaminación de los acuíferos, si no se tratan. Según datos de la Agencia de Protección del Medio Ambiente1, se “estima que al menos 1,5 millones de niños menores de 12 años mueren cada año debido a la contaminación del agua”.
El Banco Mundial, afirma que “más de 300 millones de habitantes de ciudades en Latinoamérica producen 225,000 toneladas de residuos sólidos cada día, que luego son depositados en diversas fuentes de agua; sin embargo, menos del 5% de las aguas de alcantarillado de las ciudades reciben tratamiento”, refiriéndose como residuos a aquellos que resultan de actividades comunes en los hogares como: lavado de uso, aseo, entre otros..
The creation of wastewater treatment plants is a response to the need to have a system that allows sewage treatment before it is deposited in the aquifer, minimizing environmental and social damage. Domestic wastewater is one of the main forms of contamination of aquifers if left untreated. According to data from the Environmental Protection Agency, it is "estimated that at least 1.5 million children under the age of 12 die each year due to water pollution." The World Bank affirms that "more than 300 million inhabitants of cities in Latin America produce 225,000 tons of solid waste every day, which is then deposited in various water sources; however, less than 5% of the sewage water from the cities that receives treatment", referring as waste to those that result from everyday activities in homes such as washing, cleaning, among others.
