Published by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Case Studies
La Pas has no Waste Water Treatment facilities. The World Bank stands ready to help them implement their treatment plans.
Wastewater can be a valuable resource if the right policies, technologies and financial incentives are in place.
The World Bank stands ready to support Bolivia in increasing wastewater treatment and reuse coverage rates to ultimately reduce water pollution and achieve environmental recuperation, improve the health of populations and contribute to building climate resilience in agricultural areas surrounding urban cities.

The topic about the environment and the clean water is really important! We agree withboh comments - not only feasibility studies, but there is nessesary to be built on place. Our team of process engineers, structural, electrial,SCADA, architects are ready to provide an out-source design experience.

It is true a need to have a waste water treatment plant in La Paz, however social acceptance of the people living close to the future facility is important. If we have only environmental, technical feasibility is not enough

This is very true, wastewater can be a valuable resource if the right policies, sustainable modular technologies, and incentives are in place. GWT is working in South America to assist in meeting these requirements for small/mid size communities and industries alike.
