Almendares River Basin Rehabilitation Project PROJECT OBJECTIVES

While the major goal of the proposed project is to protect the Vento aquifer and thus to define areas of human activities, which exert the highest influence on the aquifer and to introduce measures to eliminate the infiltration of wastewater, the specific objectives of the project are: (a) to enhance and sustain the quality of potable water and coverage of sanitation in the City of Havana; (b) to protect the Vento aquifer, which is the city's most important source of potable water; and (c) to improve the water quality of the Almendares river. The Almendares River Basin rehabilitation entails the rehabilitation and construction of water treatment and sewerage infrastructure with the aim of protecting and maintaining the "Vento" aquifier which is the main water source of the country's capital Havana.
