Abstract

This investigation is about the overflow of septic tanks in two schools in Panama, one located in Pacora and the second in Mañanitas. We noticed the lack of maintenance in both schools, which compromises the students with health problems, damage to the structure and bad odors. That is why we carried out a comparative analysis of the size of the structure and how often such maintenance is or should be carried out, with the aim of finding a solution to these problems. As a method, we investigated the two news items in which they tell us that since the construction of these primary sedimentation tanks there has been no maintenance whatsoever, resulting in the comparison of the two septic tanks with the help of the volume of the sedimentation tank, which shows a lack of cleaning in the two schools presented.
