¿Por qué continúa la contaminación de aguas en Guatemala?

Abstract: Para la protección ambiental se han emitido en Guatemala tres reglamentos que se refieren al agua residual, y una ley de protección y mejoramiento del medio ambiente. El último reglamento emitido es el Acuerdo Gubernativo 236-2006, denominado Reglamento de las Descargas y Reúso de Aguas Residuales y de la Disposición de Lodos, que derogó los reglamentos anteriores (Acuerdo Gubernativo del Reglamento de Requisitos Mínimos y sus Límites Máximos Permisibles de Contaminación para la Descarga de Aguas Servidas (198… Show more

“…For four decades, the Guatemalan Lake Amatitlán has shown signs of progressive eutrophication related to anthropic factors (i.e., peripheral population growth and urbanization, intensive use of water for agricultural irrigation), thus promoting the advancement towards eutrophication, related to the input of nearly 50% of the untreated residual urban and industrial waters from Guatemala City [7][8][9][10]. Because of this, some actions have been proposed to address this problem, either from the governmental level (i.e., Autoridad para el Manejo Sustentable de la cuenca del lago Amatitlán, AMSA 1996) or from descriptive studies of the lake involving the lake zooplankton biodiversity, like those by Basterrechea-Díaz (1997) [7] and Brandorff (2012) [11]; however, studies related with tropical epicontinental waterbodies have been more focused on environmental factors rather than biological community attributes or general limnology [12,13]; thus, the zooplankton biodiversity in Guatemala remains largely unknown [14], with only a few studies in Guatemalan lakes [15,16].…”
