Evaluación técnica de las lagunas de estabilización del municipio de Zipaquirá (Cundinamarca)

Abstract

Years ago, stabilization ponds were nothing more than a pioneering technique for the treatment of domestic wastewater, insomuch as they had a low construction cost and great ease of handling, which made this system the most common designing municipal wastewater treatment systems. But as time has passed, some municipalities due to lack of monitoring and control have manifested various problems, we know that water is an important resource in the daily life of human beings, likewise the availability of this resource is reduced compared to the total water in the world, so the importance of its good use and preservation becomes a necessity for the future. An economic way to treat wastewater is through the construction and systematization of stabilization ponds, which allow us to reuse water for different purposes, such as crop irrigation or energy use. The treatment of wastewater through physical-chemical or biological processes is necessary to minimize the impacts of wastewater discharges and to favor the recovery of water bodies. In order to carry out the monograph, it is proposed to carry out a bibliographical review of documents and articles that contain related information, as well as to investigate and consult technical information on the design of the lagoons in order to later make a comparison of the information obtained from the consultation and the technical visit to the lagoons. stabilization of Zipaquirá.
