Question 22897 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Nadia Ramassamy alerts the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition to the quality of water in the overseas territories. A recent report from the Guadeloupe Water Office notes a “generalized degradation of water bodies” due to the salinity of fresh groundwater and the pollution of waterways due to agricultural inputs, in particular chlordecone. Furthermore, this water quality deficit is aggravated by an outdated sanitation network and wastewater treatment plants, the discharges of which risk destroying marine biodiversity including coral reefs. Overall, she notes that the average price of water is higher in overseas territories than in France, while overseas families have lower incomes than families in France. Also, water conveyance networks have a higher efficiency weak and are more dilapidated overseas than in mainland France. Therefore, waste is added to the health consequences. Finally, for Guyana and Mayotte, 20% of inhabitants do not have drinking water in their homes. So, she asks him what the Government intends to do to bring the quality and water circuits to the same level between overseas territories and France.
