The ODSesiones project of the University of Murcia (UMU), framed in the project to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), organizes from November 6 to 28, 2019 about twenty activities around SDG 6 'Clean water and sanitation ', in the Faculties of Chemistry and Biology of the Espinardo Campus.
The activities start tomorrow, November 6 from 12 noon at the Faculty of Chemistry, where the European project LIFE Invasaqua will be presented, which fights against invasive species in freshwater ecosystems and estuaries.
Specifically, in the Segura basin there are more than 60 invasive species of fauna and about 15 species of flora.
While on November 6 in the afternoon, from 17 to 18 hours, the conference 'Dismantling the myths of water' will take place, by technicians of the municipal company Aguas de Murcia.
The activities of SDG 6 will continue on November 8 through a visit to the Drinking Water Treatment Station (ETAP) of La Contraparada, located between the districts of Javalí Nuevo and Javalí Viejo de Murcia.
UMU students will be able to go through the process of water purification and visit the laboratory to know the basic aspects to be measured in water quality.
For its part, on Saturday, November 9, one of the main activities of SDG 6, 'Murcia without butts' will arrive.
From 11 hours in the Plaza Santo Domingo, hundreds of volunteers will tour the historic center of Murcia under the motto #StopColillas.
In this activity, citizens will be made aware that each cigarette butt can contaminate up to ten liters of water, and it takes 10 months to degrade to disappear from nature without proper management.
Butts from streets, parks and terraces will be collected, and recycled containers will also be distributed among smokers.
