| Sumario: | [EN] In both large and small populations, the water passes through the processes of urban activities, where it is contaminated with several elements that decrease its quality. Rainfall runoff cleaning contaminated surfaces is added up to this. Domestic wastewater in small towns is brought to a treatment plant wastewater in the best case; otherwise, they are discharged directly to the ground, lake, river or sea. Intensive technologies of wastewater treatment are suitable for large populations or those which have an advanced economy. This is due to the need of having qualified personnel, consume large amounts of energy and implement sophisticated equipment. Small populations do not have large budgets to finance a sophisticated debugging. Besides, they generate volumes of waste water according to use, and the implementation of an intensive treatment would be very costly and unsustainable. That is why alternative technologies have been developed. These are called extensive technologies, also known as eco-technologies or low-cost, like artificial wetlands. These technologies are able to treat wastewater with no or low energy consumption. Besides, they do not require qualified personnel for its maintenance and it has environmental advantages such as landscape integration. In Peru, significant economic investments for wastewater treatment are being made. They have generated policies and projects with emphasis on the treatment of waste water for large populations; however, according to the World Bank (2014) it estimated that 22% of the Peruvian population is found in small populations. For them it is necessary to develop and implement low-cost technologies that are sustainable. The urban district of Pucara is located 12.18 km south of the city of Huancayo in the region of Junin, in Peru. It is essential to state that currently Pucara do not have an adequate treatment of wastewater and that these are discharged into the river adjacent to the population. |
