SISTEMA SIMPLIFICADO DE TRATAMENTO DE ESGOTO EM PROPRIEDADES DA ZONA RURAL DA CIDADE DE TRÊS PONTAS MG

Abstract

This article deals with the possibility of implementing a simplified sewage treatment system in properties in the rural area of the city of Três Pontas (MG). Such an approach is due to the fact that many rural properties do not have an adequate sewage treatment system, dumping sewage directly into soils and rivers and polluting them, in addition to being a source of disease. The purpose of this study is to bring a positive impact on the environment when installing the simplified sewage treatment system. This purpose will be achieved through bibliographic review and field research in the municipality of Três Pontas, in the southwest of the State of Minas Gerais. Research has shown that Embrapa's model is ideal for the region, as it manages to account for the average amount of effluents that the properties usually deposit in addition to bringing environmental gains, a more sustainable property, stimulating the production of biofertilizers, reducing transmission disease due to lack of sewage treatment and awareness of the importance of sewage treatment.
