Different aspects of the performance, innovation and technical capacities were revised in a carefully-designed survey. Besides, a sociological section, presented in this work, was included so as to generate evidence about their operational and cultural modalities of the wastewater treatment sector. From the surveys received (65), 41% of the cases are registered in two or more environmental control agencies, and there is a widespread overlap among different agencies responsible for wastewater discharge quality values measurements ​​(58%). Around 57% of the cases carried out significant technological innovations during the last 10 years, and only 15% required specific knowledge from their operators to perform specific tasks. Smaller percentages were obtained regarding capacitation plan to new employees (36%), and the incorporation of specific training and / or updating courses (29%). Considering issues related to environmental protection, the compliance percentages are far from the total, with 40% of the plants reporting an insufficient budget. Given these results, and within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, the challenge will be to form a permanent matrix of interrelationships between scientific evidence, professionalism and the role of stakeholders of the industrial sector and the State, in order to promote policies that guarantee a greater efficiency and environmental commitment of the sector.esInnovaciónFormaciónDocumento de conferencia
