Diagnóstico das condições do esgotamento sanitário do bairro Parque Potira, Caucaia-CE

Abstract

According to the National Sanitation Information System, only 55.8% of the Brazilian population is served by the sewage system and only 51.2% of the generated sewage is treated. The low levels of coverage of basic sanitation services, especially the sewage system, are alarming. It is extremely important to intensify investments in the sector, mainly in the sanitary sewage system, in order to promote the universalization of services, provide better living conditions for the population and preserve the environment. In order to understand the scenario of sanitary sewage conditions and have a diagnosis that presents an overview of the situation faced, it is necessary to examine those that these generate in the life of the population, taking into account their sanitary, epidemiological, environmental conditions and socioeconomic indicators. Thus, this work presents the diagnosis of conditions related to sanitary sewage in the Parque Potira neighborhood, located in the municipality of Caucaia, metropolitan region of Fortaleza. The methodology of the work consisted of bibliographical research, visits to the study area, application of classes and photographic record.
