Project Narrative

Problema central Altos niveles de disposición de aguas residuales sin tratar en la zona rural dispersa del municipio de la Cantagallo Bolívar Antecedentes Actualmente en la zona rural, muchas de las familias disponen sus aguas servidas al aire libre donde finalmente se percolan. Otras, por el contrario, disponen de pozos sépticos, o en el peor de los casos, realizan sus vertimientos directamente al cuerpo de agua más cercano. Estos cuerpos de agua receptores son contaminados con desechos en su mayoría orgánicos y con trazas de detergentes, producto del lavado de utensilios de cocina y de ropa después del lavado rutinario que realizan en cada vivienda. En este sentido, el ecosistema acuático y aquellos adyacentes que dependen de él, se ven afectados debido principalmente a la limitación de las condiciones de habitabilidad de la fauna acuática y de aquellos que se alimentan de ellos. Por otro lado, al contaminarse las fuentes hídricas, el ganado vacuno, equino, ovino y caprino (predominantes en la zona rural del Municipio de Cantagallo) que tienen sus abrevaderos conectados a estas fuentes de agua, su sistema inmunológico es vulnerable al ataque de enfermedades gastrointestinales en los rumiantes y equinos; así mismo ha afectado a las aves como gallinas, pavos y patos que beben de dichas aguas. Situación que afecta de manera directa la economía microfamiliar de las zonas rurales ya que las enfermedades de sus animales implican inversión en medicamentos y, en el peor de los caso, al causarse la muerte de los animales, pérdida del valor agregado del animal en el mercado.
