Revision on Basic Sanitation of the Municipalities of the Babitonga Bay Environment

Abstract

The National Plan for Basic Sanitation is based on the regulation of basic sanitation in all national municipalities, based on the principles of water supply, sewage, urban cleaning and solid waste management, ensuring the safety and health of the population. This study was based on a bibliographical review of the municipal solid waste and basic sanitation plans of the six municipalities around Babitonga Bay. All municipalities analyzed have companies responsible for water treatment. The six municipalities evaluated have a water treatment plant, with reservoir. The extension of the water network, adding all the municipalities is of 2,610,668 meters. However, it does not yet cover the entire population, which is why some residents still collect water from wells, springs, and others. Only Joinville and Araquari, have a sewage collection system with treatment plant. Although all municipalities are adapting to the effluent treatment system, none of them are consolidated in the plan, most of which have individual treatment systems (septic tank) as the final disposal of the municipalities’ sewage. All six municipalities in the vicinity of Babitonga Bay have solid waste collection and only Balneário Barra do Sul, do not have a selective collection of solid waste. Keywords: Municipal Plans; Water treatment, Basic sanitation.

Análise de indicadores de saneamento ambiental para a região central oeste do Espírito Santo/BR

“…Além disso, no estado do Espírito Santo/BR, pelo menos até o ano de 2021, 39,5% da população não tinha acesso aos serviços de coleta de esgoto (Sistema Nacional de Informações Sobre Saneamento, 2022). Ressalta-se ainda, que a qualidade das águas subterrâneas pode ser comprometida como resultado da ausência de serviços de coleta de esgoto (Silva et al, 2014) e a gestão dos serviços de saneamento focado no controle de atividades poluidoras torna-se uma ferramenta importante para o planejamento e execução de atividades como a de coleta de esgotos (Pfuetzenreuter, 2020).…”
