Environmental Education and Wastewater Generation

The generation of wastewater is an environmental problem that affects all countries. In many parts of the world, these liquid wastes are discharged into water sources without any type of treatment or with a deficient process, generating alterations to the biotic, abiotic and social environments. Environmental education is indispensable to make an efficient use and saving of water, as well as the reduction of waste generation, forging ecological habits in individuals and encouraging the competent authorities to take actions to protect the water resource and the health of the inhabitants who benefit from this natural resource.
