Cartagena, the historic city where the
'1983 Cartagena convention for the Protection of the
Caribbean' was signed, is meeting its responsibilities
to protect the public health of its citizens as well as the
costal marine environment through improved wastewater
management. Cartagena's experience can serve as an
inspiration to the wider Caribbean region and provide a
model for other developing coastal cities. Water pollution
control is a key issue for the world's coastal cities.
Pollution emanating from domestic and industrial wastewater
can not only contaminate the ocean environment but also
damage highly productive estuaries and bays that provide a
critical ecological connection to the marine environment.
Inadequate wastewater management can also pollute urban
beaches, potentially threatening public health and
undermining tourism. This technical note summarizes
Cartagena's experience in wastewater management for
international dissemination and was jointly prepared by the
World Bank, the Colombian Ministry of Environment and
Sustainable Development, the Cartagena water utility
(ACUACAR), and the Global Partnership for the Oceans (GPO). |
