The settlements on the sides of the river Pance
pulling sewage into the river and the consequences of this.
The Pance River is one of the most attractive places
in Cali. Many people go there on weekends and bathes in the river, but the problem is not to go and do this, because
the river is so important and this is not bad, the problem are the settlements
that are on the side of this beautiful river that are polluting it.
The settlements that are on the side of one of the
most important rivers of Cali are helping to contaminate this river because the
pulling water is falling to the water.
The people who lives in this settlements makes this
because they didn’t have an Aqueduct so they didn’t have another place to pull
the residual water but the problem is that the vast majority of these
settlements are illegal which prevents rulers make them aqueducts necessary or
hydraulic systems. The river is the one to pay the consequences because it is
what is being contaminated; it also affects people who enjoy the river (a large
proportion of the population of Cali).
The river water is not as pure as it was 10 years ago,
as the settlements which have grown at compounded the problem because the more
people, more and more sewage waste.
We can solve this if we make some suggestions or we
purpose to the rulers to make an aqueduct on those settlements to handle this
carefully because we think that this subject is not important, but is more
dangerous that we think because is not only the contamination of the river, is
the people who goes there and bathes and can contract an illness, that’s why
this is a big problem.
The most
reasonable solution would be to eliminate those settlements that first are
illegal and second, they are not allow to the people who live there optimal
living conditions.
But this is not the only solution, this
is not just blame the government or local leaders, is lack of awareness. Doing
this brings many consequences not only for those who enjoy the river, if
not also for those who do this because we know that is necessary but if people
had common sense would seek ways to solve their problems, without affecting the
others.
