abstract = "Domestic effluents collected from urban areas are transported
along extensive sewer networks that are assumed to operate as
watertight systems. Such operability is ensured by maintenance
routines, both preventive and corrective, that are capable of
detecting weak points where loss of effluents might occur and
affect bodies of water. Since urban rivers are the destination of
such organic loads, they may be used as indicators of potential
weak points along the sewage network. The implementation of
initiatives whose goal is to avoid such input of pollutant loads
is in line with at least three of the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals from the 2030 Agenda. The assumption that rivers may be used
as indicators forms the basis of the Urban River Revitalization
Program (PRRU) carried out since 2011 by the Water Resources
Management division of the Sanitation Company of
Paran{\'a}Sanepar. Since its inception, over 3410 weak points
have already been located and repaired within the Metropolitan
Region of Curitiba, which covers about 98 river basins including
the Bel{\'e}m River, one of the most important, located
completely inside the urban area. In its northern basin 309 weak
spots have been corrected, resulting in improved appearance and
odor, as well as higher levels of dissolved oxygen.",
