NATURE-BASED BASIC SANITATION SYSTEM POR A REMOTE COMMUNITY.

More than 50% of Colombian populations do not have sufficient and appropriate infrastructure for the collection and treatment of wastewater, so its discharge is carried out without control, directly to surface water sources, causing negative impacts on the environment and society. , as well as significant outbreaks of waterborne diseases, especially in vulnerable people. The objective of this project is to design a decentralized system for the collection and treatment of domestic wastewater based on nature for the corregimiento of San Marino (BagadóChocó). For this, the necessary information was collected to characterize the area and define the problem; Three alternatives were proposed, which were analyzed from the technical, economic, social and environmental point of view; resulting in the design of a condominium sewerage network and a constructed wetland of subsurface flow as a water treatment system, which comply with national and international standards. The investment for the implementation of the entire system was estimated at $2,554,879,939, and the operating cost at $232.30/m3, which represents an approximate decrease of 25% respectively, in relation to conventional solutions. With the implementation of this type of project, it is expected to contribute directly to the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goals 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, which is directly related to the country’s commitments for 2030; but mainly to improve the quality of life of remote populations.
