ASAcom/Reproduction

The event takes place this Tuesday (16) and Wednesday (17), in Campina Grande, and gathers farmers and researchers in conferences, dialogue rounds and technical visits

Farmers and researchers from the Northeast will be together this Tuesday (16) and Wednesday (17), in Campina Grande (PB), to debate and share experiences and the latest studies on the treatment and reuse of water in the production of healthy food. The ASA’s Technical Scientific Seminar on Rural Sanitation with Social Technologies for Water Reuse is a realization of the Articulação Semiárido Brasileiro (ASA) with the WTT Foundation, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) and Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health.

The event aims to shed light on cases and research related to rural sanitation with social technologies for water reuse that ensure sanitary safety. The perspective is that these experiences will contribute to the construction of a public policy of ASA Brazil to bring more life and health to the Northeastern states and Minas Gerais, at the same time that it will encourage the implementation of irrigated areas for planting.

The program will have as a starting point the exhibition of four successful projects developed in Bahia, by Irpaa and Univasf; in Pernambuco, by the Centro Sabiá e Caatinga, with the support of UFRPE, and by Diaconia with UFPE; and in Rio Grande do Norte, from a partnership between Seapac and UFRN.

Terras de Vidas Project, carried out by the Centro Sabiá and Caatinga, with support from Caritas Alemã, is a positive example of the promotion of rural sanitation through the implementation of Greywater Reuse Systems combined with Agroforestry Systems

After the round of dialogue, which will discuss each of the initiatives, Fiocruz will present a conference, followed by a debate, about possible risks of diseases transmitted by wastewater and parameters that ensure the safe sanitary management of social technologies.

On the second day of ASA’s Technical Scientific Seminar on Rural Sanitation with Social Technologies for Water Reuse, the participants will get to know up close the adapted family bio-water systems and the Septic Tank and Sand Filter, two experiences of agricultural reuse in Quilombo Santa Rosa, located in Boa Vista (PB). These initiatives are part of participative research involving the WTT Foundation, the Instituto do Semiárido (Insa), UFRPE, Patac, and the quilombolas.

Still on site, after the visit to the experiences, a round of dialogue will be held with the presence of the farming families visited and representatives of the partner institutions of the research to clarify any doubts and complementary information.
