This diagram shows the features, values, and threats for Guanabara Bay and its watershed, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Guanabara Bay Values and Threats
Conceptual diagram illustrating that wastewater treatment plants with biological nutrient removal contribute the least amount of nitrogen to groundwater annually per household.
Comparing septic and sewage systems
A biodigestor processes organic waste into gas and fertilizer. It is a simple system to implement with inexpensive materials and is being introduced in isolated rural communities and developing countries to get the double benefit of getting solve energy and environmental problems, and perform proper management of both human waste and animal.

Unsustainable development and overfishing threaten Belize's coral reefs.
Belize coral reefs in jeopardy
The reduction of impacts and threats to the coastal ecosystem of Honduras benefits both humans and coral reefs.

Inputs: sewage
As land use in the Chilika Lake area changes from forest to settlements and paddy agriculture sewage, and fertilizer and pesticides runoff increases into the Lake. This extra nutrient input results in algae blooms that float and sit on the bottom.
Chilika Lake Pollution Pressure
Conceptual diagram illustrating a modern central collection and wastewater treatment plant.
Modern Wastewater Treatment
