Análisis multitemporal del índice de calidad de agua en corrientes superficiales (ica) en la cuenca del río Bogotá durante el periodo de tiempo de 2017 al 2021.

Resumen

The Bogotá River basin originates in the Guacheneque páramo at 3,300 masl in the municipality of Villapinzón and ends in the Magdalena River at 280 masl in the municipality of Girardot (Alcaldía Mayor de Bogotá, 2014). In addition, in the aforementioned basin there are natural systems made up of streams, rivers, wetlands and lagoons, most of which are tributaries of the Bogotá River. However, its problems have been discussed for around 100 years (Monroy Saladén & Ospina Ortiz, 2014), mainly due to the increase in population density, which triggers pressure on the water ecosystem and greatly affects water quality. due to contamination from different productive activities and domestic, industrial and/or commercial wastewater (Peña et al., 2001; Castro, 2012; Liévano, 2013; Tetay et al., 2015), making it a highly polluted river in the world (Schaefer, 2014). For this reason, strategies, programs and plans have been carried out at the national level, as is the case of the project called Hydraulic adaptation and environmental restoration of the Bogotá River (AHRARB) that is carried out by the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca (CAR). , whose purpose is to reduce the number of inhabitants vulnerable to the flooding of the Bogotá River, increase the native vegetation cover, restore the original characteristics of the native ecosystems of the project area, fix and include areas that have different functions along the river, thus improving the quality of water and in turn developing the integration of urbanism together with the landscape of public spaces” (Cundinamarca Regional Autonomous Corporation – CAR, 2014). Activities that are framed by the Action Plan 2007 - 2011 of the CAR, by the Ordering and Management Plan of the Bogotá River Basin (POMCA) and by document 3320 of 2004 proposed by CONPES which presents strategies for the environmental management of the Bogotá River to achieve its decontamination.
