Wastewater management There is adearthof recent data regardingwastewater management. However, available data show that 38 million m 3 /year of municipal wastewater was produced in 2007, which increased to 39 million m 3 / year in 2009 (FAO 2018). In 2017, a new wastewater treatment plant was opened in Cabo Verde on the island of Sal.
