Over US$4bn needed to clean up Peru's Rímac river
Over US$4bn is needed to clean up and recuperate the water quality of Peru's Rímac river running through Lima region, national water authority ANA said in a release.
Around 956 sources currently contaminate the river, of which untreated wastewater being discharged directly into the river represents 53%.
The Rímac river is capital Lima's main source of potable water, and to address the contamination problems ANA aims to implement projects to construct wastewater treatment plants, reuse wastewater, build landfills and expand both the sewerage and water systems in nearby communities. In addition, ANA also aims to recuperate planting terraces and designate recreation zones along the river.
For 2015, ANA seeks to begin implementing 42mn soles (US$15mn) in projects to treat wastewater and improve sewerage systems and water reservoirs in the San Mateo, Cocachacra, Matucana, Surco and Santa Eulalia districts located in the upper part of the Rímac river basin.
The projects will likely be carried out as either public-private partnerships or through Peru's Obras por Impuestos tax-relief program.
