Diagnóstico socioeconómico como insumo para la realización del mapa de riesgo en el tramo que inicia desde la periferia de la bocatoma de captación de agua (Quebrada Honda), hasta la estación de bombeo (Puente Abadía) ubicados en la cuenca media del río Guatiquía, en Villavicencio–Meta.

Abstract

This project presents the results of a socioeconomic diagnosis carried out in the section that starts from the periphery of the water catchment (deep gully), to the pumping station (abbey bridge) located in the middle basin of the Guatiquía river, in Villavicencio-Meta. Basin of great importance for the city, and that due to its great capacity of production of the water resource, is the main source of supply for the Aqueduct and Sewer Company of Villavicencio ESP (EAAV E.S.P), who by the fact of lending Home public services have a responsibility not only to users, but also to control and surveillance agencies.

In relation to the above, the Colombian state has deployed multiple public policies regarding the quality and supply by the companies providing the drinking water service as mentioned in article 15 of Decree 1575 of 2007, which focuses on quality of water for human consumption and is the instrument that defines the actions of inspection, surveillance and control of risk associated with the conditions of the quality of the supply basins (Secretary of Health of Boyacá, 2011).

In response to this, and facing the responsibility of the EAAV E.S.P. The present project developed in 3 phases, began with the collection of primary information, developing a characterization to the population, to obtain the identification of the socioeconomic factors in the study section, in this same phase the collection of information from secondary sources was made. Then, the second methodological phase is constituted by the analysis and classification of the uses of the water resource based on the identification of neighboring properties and the activities developed in the section, as possible threat promoters.

For the third phase, this technical document was included as a final contribution of the internship practice and as an input for the EAAV E.S.P who are in the obligation to submit it to the Ministry of Health; entity responsible for making the risk map. In this last phase, the socioeconomic factors compiled from the methodology implemented were also included, proposed by (Wilches-Chaux, 2011) annexed to this, the tabulation of the surveys and interviews conducted with the population of the study area was carried out.
