Nicaragua has legislation in place that allows the issuance of concessions and licences to local and foreign firms as well as natural persons to supply services. In practice, however, basic environmental services are supplied largely by public companies. The public sector in Nicaragua remains largely responsible for the provision of the majority of environmental services, particularly those associated with sewage, the treatment and disposal of wastewater, garbage collection and the monitoring of vehicle emissions. 3, record 1, English, - environmental%20service
