Abstract
Bogotá is the capital of Colombia and represents the most important urban center in the

and this growth has brought with it a variety of environmental impacts, including degradation of
surface water quality. Government agencies have developed the water quality network of Bogotá
that spans across four large rivers, including the Tunjuelo. According to measurements since 2009,
water quality has changed in association with the dynamics of the city. This article utilizes a spatial
and temporal analysis with multivariate statistics (Principal Components Analyses, dendograms,
and Kruskal-Wallis) to propose a redesign of the Tunjuelo River water quality network. Based on these
analyses, the number of monitoring stations can be reduced from nine to seven and the measurement
frequency can be reduced. Together, the proposed spatial and temp
