dc.description.abstractDespite Costa Rica's reputation for being a leader in environmental policy and its thriving nature-based tourism industry, the nation has had poor surface water quality. Reasons for poor water quality include the lack of sewerage treatment, overuse of septic tanks, and the application of large quantities of agrichemicals. Although Costa Rica has policies to maintain surface water quality, they have not been sufficiently implemented. Recent initiatives have addressed surface water quality, including an ambitious plan to expand treated sewerage systems in all urban areas. Current efforts to meet this goal have focused on the San Jose metropolitan area and coastal communities. This paper reviews the advances and challenges to Costa Rica's efforts to improve water quality.es_ES
