Clean water in Spain - Axarquia and inland is a problem
The province of Malaga full of wastewater
The province of Malaga live on tourism, but can not offer residents and visitors treated wastewater. Half of the province's 101 municipalities did not purify wastewater
Among the most urgent projects are Nerja east of Malaga that has much more inhabitants, and no treatment plant. About 100,000 people in the Axarquía area. Although Torrox no treatment plant, one is planned for 2011.
In the Western part of Costa del Sol, the situation is better. Treatment Plant Guadalmansa serving Marbella, Estepona, Istan Benahavís have tripled capacity and there is a facility in Mijas / Fuengirola. Treatment Plant in the Guadalhorce serving Torremolinos and Churriana has also been improved.
In Antequera municipality is 81 percent of the water in rivers heavily polluted due to emissions and use of fertilizers from agriculture and livestock.
The same applies to the villages in Guadalhorce valley. This is about 10 billion liters of polluted water discharged into streams and rivers in the area around Alhaurin de la Torre, Alhaurín el Grande and Cártama.
