Estimación de la huella hídrica gris en la Universidad Santo Tomás Villavicencio, sede Aguas Claras

Abstract

Pollution is an effect that is generated in different areas, it mainly affects nature and everything that makes it up. To mitigate pollution problems, a great variety of alternatives have emerged, one of them is wastewater treatment, which largely benefits water bodies and basically its function is to reduce to almost 0% all those pollutants that are generated by waste Anthropogenic and natural, the water is affected since it is used to give it a use of which later it will no longer be guaranteed potability in it, this water is called wastewater. Usually in places where there are no water treatment systems, wastewater is directly discharged into rivers, which drastically affects pollution, therefore, different ways have been implemented to make the water reach the most potable water bodies, among them one of the main ones are the Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) for urban and rural populations. In the industry and institutions, treatment systems are implemented that guarantee to make the water of the companies drinkable before it mixes with the wastewater in the sewers, for the development of the treatment systems it is important to take into account the Gray Water Footprint, since this indicator will allow us to analyze the wastewater to later provide a solution to the pollution generated by the institution, taking into account all the factors that are generators of wastewater in an anthropogenic and natural way, in order to provide the best solution to reduce the environmental impact that is generated.
