WATER POLLUTION IN OUR CITY
Pitalito is located in the Colombian Massif and we enjoy the riches of this land. Its flora and fauna are abundant, varied and beautiful. As well as the water resources that this land of the Laboyanos has. Pitalito is the best coffee producer in Colombia, and it has achieved worldwide recognition for its best coffee.
All this is overshadowed by water pollution. Many of us do not have a sense of belonging to our natural resources. When I was a kid we liked to go with my brothers to the rivers and streams to enjoy their fresh and clean waters, but nowadays most of these tributaries are contaminated. In the farms of the region are not taken care of by the waters, in which they pour any amount of waste that contaminates the water.
Receding waters of the bathrooms and kitchens are usually discharged without any treatment. Faecal matter and soaps produce harmful bacteria for the animals that live in these waters, as well as the animals that feed on it. The wastewater from processing coffee is also discharged without a filtration process.
Normally, these sewage must be treated by filth and sewage, duly installed on farms, but very few families do this. We, the Laboyanos, are a long way from learning how to care about our natural resources.
