Abstract

Worldwide, 80% of wastewater is released into the environment without treatment. According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Water, of the 100% of the vital liquid distributed for human consumption in Ecuador, approximately 70% is channeled into sewage systems. Of this percentage, 55.8% of discharges are treated, which means that the other 44.2% of wastewater is discharged directly into septic tanks or canals (El Comercio, 2019). This research will analyze the violation of constitutional rights by discharges of wastewater without prior treatment from domestic and industrial use in the Huaylá estuary in the Puerto Bolivar parish because they cause negative effects not only for health but also for food, work, healthy environment of people, as well as nature itself as a subject of rights enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. The lack of action by the Autonomous Decentralized Municipal Government of Machala regarding the construction of sewage treatment plants has been postponed year after year, so it is necessary an adequate public policy in which the rules of the Constitution, Environmental Management Act and the Organic Code of Territorial Organization Autonomy Decentralization in the prevention, conservation and recovery of the ecosystem product of the rampant pollution.
