Drainage and Environmental Sanitation
The objective of the project is to minimize impacts from the lack of, or insufficient, urban drainage infrastructure in critical areas of the city of Montevideo. The project will finance storm drainage works, including: detention tanks to contain floodwaters, sewers to increase hydraulic capacity, spillways to divert excess water to pre-established waterways, and complementary structures. Of a universe of roughly 11 critical urban areas, three priority areas were selected based on the frequency of flooding and the magnitude of the impact on residents, buildings, homes, and local roads
