Water supply and sanitation in Latin America : ウィキペディア英語版 | Water supply and sanitation in Latin America Water supply and sanitation in Latin America is characterized by insufficient access and in many cases by poor service quality, with detrimental impacts on public health. Water and sanitation services are provided by a vast array of mostly local service providers under an often fragmented policy and regulatory framework. Financing of water and sanitation remains a serious challenge. == Access == ]Access to water and sanitation remains insufficient, in particular in rural areas and for the poor. It also differs substantially among and within countries. According to the Joint Monitoring Program of the World Health Organization and UNICEF, in 2004 the share of population which was connected to an improved water source varied from 54% in Haiti to 100% in Uruguay. All together, 50 million people or 9% of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean did not have access to improved water supply,〔(WHO/UNICEF JMP water )〕 and 125 million or 23% did not have access to improved sanitation.〔(WHO/UNICEF JMP sanitation )〕 Increasing access remains a challenge, in particular given the poor financial health of service providers and fiscal constraints on behalf of central and local governments. As far as sanitation is concerned, only 51% of the population has access to sewers.〔 Only an estimated 15% of the collected wastewater finds its way into wastewater treatment plants, which often are not properly functioning.〔Pan American Health Organization/Division of Health and Environment: Regional Report on the Evaluation in the Region of the Americas, Washington, 2001, p. 24 and p. 81〕 26% of the population has access to forms of sanitation other than sewers, including septic tanks and various types of latrines.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Water supply and sanitation in Latin America」の詳細全文を読む
