Wastewater is an environmental problem because it is discharged into water sources without being treated. The stream Arroyo Grande de la Sabana, in Sucre, Colombia, receives wastewater from the municipalities: Sincelejo, Morroa, Corozal, Betulia, Sincé and Galeras, of which only Sincelejo has a wastewater treatment plant (WTP), these waters reach the stream with high concentrations of pollutants.
