The present work corresponds to the Analysis of the Sustainability of Canton Nobol,
whose cantonal head is Narcisa de Jesús. First, an investigation was carried out on the
environmental norms that municipalities must comply with in order to guarantee the health
of their inhabitants and in some cantons. We selected the canton Nobol, located in the
province of Guayas. A checklist was prepared with several sections, such as: air quality,
wastewater treatment, drinking water quality and solid waste management. Then, the
canton was visited to identify the conformities and conformities in it. In addition, interviews
were conducted with several people in charge of the different areas of interest. We visited
ECAPAN, company responsible for the distribution of drinking water and wastewater
treatment, and with the help of the engineer Segundo Castañeda we were able to inspect
the pumping system, the wastewater pools and the place of the final disposal of the
wastewater. Also, the open-air dump was visited, where the collection of the solid waste
of the canton takes place, which had no control and was contaminating the environment
around it. In addition, surveys were carried out to the inhabitants of the Nobol canton in
different areas to know the perspective of each person regarding the environmental
problems that surround it. Once all the information was collected, a thorough analysis
was developed. The suggested measures to be applied were developed to resolve the
identified nonconformities and they were placed in descriptive sheets. A summary matrix
of the measures was drawn up. An ecomapa was designed to easily identify the critical
points of the canton, places where drinking water arrives, solid waste collection areas,
high noise areas, etc. A general eco balance of the canton was developed. The risks that
could be a consequence of the non-conformities found were analyzed. And finally, all the
possible information was documented, and the outstanding findings of the canton were
described, and conclusions of the final work were written.
