Decontamination of the river system in the Greater Area of Quito, Ecuador
Up to the time of the project, communal sewage and industrial wastewaters had been discharged untreated into the rivers so we were contracted to develop and finalize measures to decontaminate the river system. Key project steps were identification of sources of pollution from the municipal and industrial sectors, making proposals for remedying the situation, planning the measures selected for implementation, and setting up a monitoring model.
