Environmental Sanitation Program for Municípios in the Guanabara Bay Area-PSAM

closed

The objective of the operation is to help reverse the environmental degradation of Guanabara Bay. Its purpose is to expand coverage of wastewater collection and treatment in this urban area, thus helping to reduce the organic load discharged into Guanabara Bay from domestic sources. The Environmental Sanitation Program will be implemented through three components: (i) wastewater collection and treatment works and equipment; (ii) operational improvement and institutional strengthening; and (iii) support to make municipal sanitation policies sustainable. The project will contribute two cities to the ¿100 Cities¿ target, as well as one utility to the ¿Efficient Utilities¿ target, and two subwatersheds to the ¿Water Defenders¿ target of the Water and Sanitation Initiative (document GN-2446-3).
