Much of the water that supplies Quito, Ecuador鈥檚 largest city, originates in Andean highlands that are home to a tremendous variety of endemic plants and animals, including the spectacular Andean condor. Downstream, many areas around the city do not have enough water to meet their needs, and most of the city's monitored watersheds have undrinkable water. Poor farming and logging practices in the vicinity of the condor reserve and farm animals grazing too close to stream and river channels are the culprits.
What would you do to solve this problem??How would u solve this environmental problem?I do not know what type and size of any Ecuadorian Environmental groups you have but this problem has an ideal solution. The more people who agree with your problem and solution the easier it is to get the job done. If you combine the problems into one solution you may get widespread support. A large condor sanctuary that would include adequate watershed to provide clean water for farming and the city would seem to be the perfect solution. People in the cities will strongly support something that will provide them with clean water without adverse effects. The loggers that may lose suitable land make up a very small segment of the population. The farmers can also benefit from clean water.
This would be a big project. I do not know who owns all this land but as a watershed and condor preserve it will always be there if some other need becomes more important. So an organization that is big enough to handle all the work that will be needed and the many years it is likely to take to make this a reality. I worked in the California condor sanctuary, it was well worth the land that was set aside.How would u solve this environmental problem?
that depends on what is making the water undrinkable. it is chemicals in the water from the farming, then they can be filtered out in a variety of ways. same with parasites. if on the other hand the water has an excessive amount of lime dissolved in the water, perhaps large evaporation units to distill the water would work. another possibility is desalinization of seawater to help supply the city.How would u solve this environmental problem? Dont simply kill any insects, part of ecology or i mean food chain or food web.

How would u solve this environmental problem?
YOU can do that by creating electricity at home..How would u solve this environmental problem?1). Replant the logged-over areas with fast-growing trees with minimal value to the loggers.
2) Plant steamside buffers to filter out the nutrients from livestock and the silt.
3) Fence the livestock away from the streams.
4) Make it economically-feasible for the farmers to cooperate in preserving the streams..
