The presence of factories such as Piladoras, sawmills, poultry distributors and artisanal brickworks, located around the river, have used the tributary as the main source to deposit their rubbish, biological waste, fuels, wastewater, causing the loss of natural resources fundamental to the Development of activities such as the fishing and gastronomic sector of the city. In addition, the little environmental knowledge of the nearby inhabitants, added to the wastewater that constantly enters the river allows the increase of nutrients and pathogenic organisms which triggers a reaction called eutrophication that affect the ichthyological resources existing in the waters of the San Pablo River. It should be noted that in recent years the pollution of the river has not improved and there is no recovery in either natural or anthropogenic areas, the search for a solution has not been considered by local authorities, which do not Give priority to this problem, however the introduction of harmful discharges continues to increase. With this background the present research has as main objective, the study of the pollution in the San Pablo River and how it affects to its natural resources that are fundamental to develop the tourist activity, for that reason arises the necessity to implement a proposal that allows diminishing Pollution and achieving conservation of resources. In conclusion, it is important to note that the intervention and contamination of water resources such as rivers can modify the normal flow of the water cycle, causing various disruptions in the planet's climate and directly affecting the conservation of ecosystems, causing various national and international social conflicts. |
