Abstract
The Chorrillos beach of the port of Huacho, is located north of Lima, Peru, and is contaminated by wastewater and solids, discharges by industry and population. For your evaluation of recovery environmental experimental research was applied using the following techniques: observation, environmental assessment, surveys, measurement of effluent flows and analysis of samples of its marine waters.
Highlights
The port of Huacho is located 180 km north from Lima, Peru, this port is the beach "Chorrillos of Huacho", where the population disposes of their waste illegally, causing contamination; product of this, is affecting the quality of this beach, the species that inhabit it and the health of the people
This is to be expected because in its marine waters end up the effluents of industrial wastewater, municipal and agricultural drainage, all untreated, whose problem is aggravated because there are no environmental policies by the local and regional government, requiring the treatment of these waters, which favors the continuation of pollution in this geographical space
Excreta is observed along the beach of this port, which shows strong fecal contamination, and there is a large amount of solid waste scattered on its banks, especially clearing; the beach Chorrillos of Huacho is closed by municipal ordinance for any activity, which lacks compliance because there is no control by the competent authority; for this reason, the following question is asked
Summary
The port of Huacho is located 180 km north from Lima, Peru, this port is the beach "Chorrillos of Huacho", where the. The effects of pollution in this bay were studied by Sánchez et al (1996), who demonstrated that the macrozoobenthos has disappeared from its natural habitat, and the results of this work are reaffirmed by Evangelista (2002), who demonstrates that pollution persists in Huacho Bay, especially in its port, Even the General Directorate of Environmental Health (1999) in coordination with the Provincial Municipality of Huaura-Huacho, to date, has closed Chorrillos beach, which is adjacent to the port, because it was found to have limits of thermotolerant coliforms that exceed the norms and because its sand is of very poor quality, with solid waste all over the beach Despite these facts, there are no environmental impact studies that demonstrate the real environmental damage of these coastal waters. It is demonstrated that the beach Chorrillos of Huacho is environmentally recoverable, which is an indicator to be taken into account by the competent authorities, so that in their functions they should apply responsible environmental management, as soon as possible, for its environmental recovery and for its sustainability, which would be a point of development for its population, since this beach has many potential resources that would turn it into a very attractive seaside resort for tourism
