Abstract
The goal was to evaluate the environmental impacts, including social and economic characteristics, of the most representative water treatment technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean in order to identify mitigation strategies. The presentation outlines parameters for the research, including selection of indicators, handling of data, and case study performance assessment, while also recognizing the importance of allowing farmers and civil society organizations to participate in the development of standards and regulations associated with wastewater facilities.
