Abstract

The present article aims to develop a state of the art in the middle basin of the Bogotá River, from the years 2012 to 2018, based on the ruling of the state council (March 2014) and the objectives contemplated within the National Policy for the Integral Management of the Water Resource (PNGIRH), taking as information sources public and private academic institutions present in the area of the basin and City Halls, Secretariat of Environment and CAR; The project is framed within the FODEIN 2018 research project, which has the name "Creation of the observatory of the middle basin of the Bogotá River" carried out by the master's degree in watershed management and the environmental engineering faculty of the Universidad Santo Tomás , which will serve as a consultation tool for those who require it.

The work methodology used is divided into five stages, the first stage was intended to generate an initial contextualization of the socio-environmental status of the basin, therefore attended the presentation of results of the Management Plan Update and Basin Management (POMCA) of the Bogotá River, secondary sources such as news and publications on the Bogotá River were also reviewed. Stage two and three consisted of compiling and classifying in a database the documents, research and articles related to the middle basin of the Bogotá River, around environmental issues found in repositories and web pages of different universities, showing that the Thematic with more information available was the integral management of the water resource, for this reason a reclassification is carried out taking as objective this item and focusing the search on the objectives contemplated within the (PNGIRH) of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development.

In stage four, we proceeded to make the bibliographic synthesis product of the documentary reclassification, finding that there is a greater number of studies related to issues in water quality, followed by conflict management and in lesser amount were found about water resource management. On the other hand, it was evidenced that as of 2013 there was an increase in the investigations and publications carried out, which may be related to the ruling of the Council of State, on the decontamination of the Bogotá River.

Finally, for stage five, two social workshops were held within the development of the observatory creation project with the support of the expertise in watershed management, carried out in the municipalities of Cota and Funza, in order to discuss with representatives of public entities on the actions carried out in order to comply with the decontamination sentence of the Bogotá River, as well as generation of play strategies for students with the purpose of raising awareness about the importance of conserving and preserving the habitats found within the Bogotá river basin.

From the information analyzed, the importance of relating and applying properly the four components established by the PNGIRH is concluded, since through these it is possible to carry out processes of transformation of the territories through the active and inclusive participation of the different actors social in the decisions in order to prevent water and its dynamics from becoming threats to the communities, guaranteeing the integrity of the ecosystems belonging to the Bogotá river basin.
