RECOVERY “QUEBRADA LA MONA” WITH VETIVER
AND PLANTING FRUIT FOR IMPROVE THE COMM-
NUNITY DIET. Maracay -VENEZUELA.
Environmental pollution of soil and water, is a common
denominator in urban and rural areas where humans
coexist with multiple environmental problems that af-
fect their quality of life. " Jardin Humano Taller Sobei-
da Luque" has been working with these purposes, with
residents of Barrio Ojo de Agua, Maracay, Venezuela.
Under the guidance of Dr. Oswaldo Luque M, environ-
mental expert on treatment and reclamation of contami-
nated areas: soil and water. A day of planting vetiver
(Chrysopogon zizaniodes) and fruit began: tangerine
and avocado were planted on a stretch of “Quebrada La
Mona”, tributary of “El Castaño river”, contaminated
with waste and sewage inputs. On April 18, 2015, was
summoned to the Community and Community Councils
in the area, who participated in a day. The program in-
cluded instruction to children and adults on the need to
protect the environment, as well as the benefits of the
vetiver plant: grass that protects the soil from erosion,
its roots are deep, and has the ability to purify water and
return clean to the environment (http:// www.vetiver.org)
The fruit trees were planted, 10 avocados (Persea ame-
ricana), 5 mandarin (Citrus aurantium) and 5 oranges
(Citrus sinensis), to improve the community diet.
