The provincial portfolio of Environment and Climate Change, under the responsibility of Enrique Estévez, has started the comprehensive approach plan to clean up the Ludueña stream basin.
This initiative, in collaboration with the Rosario Municipality and citizens, aims to address environmental issues. The works will be carried out in the area between Álvarez Condarco and Schweitzer Street, for approximately 10 days.
Initiatives and Collaborations to Clean Up the Ludueña Stream
The Ministry of Public Works, through the Water Resources Secretariat, has initiated the cleaning of the Ludueña stream. Estévez highlighted the coordination with the Municipality of Rosario, the National University of Rosario, and the National Water Institute to measure the water quality of the stream.
The Ministry of Environment is conducting a participatory monitoring process of the stream, with the participation of many citizens. Estévez emphasized the importance of coordination between the Provincial Government, the municipality, and citizens to sustain these efforts over time.

Works and Methodology
The Water Resources Secretary, Nicolás Mijich, reported that the works are being carried out with an 18-meter excavator, aiming to affect the least amount of vegetation possible. The waste thrown on the banks from the neighboring houses will be removed in a section of approximately 1,000 meters.
Luciano Marelli, Secretary of Environment and Public Spaces of Rosario, explained that trucks will collect the waste and take it to the inert waste landfill for proper disposal. Additionally, they will work with the neighbors to prevent waste from returning to this area and keep it clean.
The municipality indicates that this initiative is the first step in seeking solutions to a historical problem, adopting a socio-environmental perspective that considers both the natural environment of the basin and the economic and social dynamics surrounding it.
Challenges and Objectives
The current environmental situation presents significant challenges, such as the risk of flooding, changes in land use, the impact of economic activities, irregular settlements, the presence of solid waste, and unauthorized discharges. Therefore, a comprehensive diagnosis is crucial to effectively guide recovery measures.
The approach includes permanent monitoring of water quality of the stream and its basin, as well as controlling economic activities that impact it.
