Caracterización de las aguas residuales generadas por actividades turísticas y diseño de un sistema tipo para su tratamiento en zonas de influencia del Parque Nacional Cajas

Abstract

This research evaluates wastewater generated by tourism activities in the area of influence of Cajas National Park. Physicochemical and microbiological characterization was conducted to determine environmental impact. Based on the results, a prototype treatment system integrating screening, primary sedimentation, constructed wetland and vermifilter was designed. The proposal aims to reduce pollutant loads before discharge into sensitive ecosystems and strengthen the sustainable protection of water resources.
