Contaminación antrópica causada a los principales afluentes del país y la responsabilidad social y ambiental del ingeniero de hoy

It is important to recognize why important water sources in the country, such as the children of the Magdalena, Amazonas, Cauca, Guaviare, Putumayo and Caqueta Rivers, present less aquatic fauna (World Wildlife Fund, for its initials in English). As they pass through the different populations that are on the banks of their channels, water pollution increases, further altering the downstream fauna and flora. This paper intends to specify roughly, the main sources of pollution of three of the most important rivers in the country (Magdalena, Amazonas and Cauca), will determine the similarities or differences between the three, enumerate the harmful effects on the environment, animals and animals. humans caused by such contamination, determine the degree of anthropic responsibility and finally, from the perspective of the engineer propose a viable alternative to mitigate the harmful effects.
