Alternativas para mitigar el déficit hídrico del humedal Tibanica para la empresa de acueducto y alcantarillado de Bogotá EAAB-ESP.

Abstract

Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá EAAB - ESP is a company that provides water and sewage services, committed to the environment, therefore throughout its operation it has been developing projects with technologies that seek to reduce the impacts generated to the environment; having as environmental commitment the care and preservation of about 40 thousand hectares of the Chingaza Natural Reserve and 5 thousand in the eastern hills.

The Company is made up of nine areas, but the Corporate Environmental Management is in charge of the protection, conservation and recovery of the water resources of the Capital and is responsible for the maintenance and care of the 13 wetlands; therefore, it must coordinate, design, define, advise and support the guidelines to control and maintain the wetlands and streams in the city of Bogotá.

Considering that the Tibanica Wetland District Reserve has a water deficit due to the climatic conditions of the Tibanica Creek micro-watershed and the absence of hydraulic connectivity with its natural water source, this document aims to propose an analysis of alternatives to prevent the decrease of the water body of the Tibanica Wetland District Reserve. This internship work was carried out in conjunction with the Environmental Management of the Water System, Corporate Environmental Management who gave support and supervision, considering it a useful project for other wetlands in the District, resulting in the most viable option taking into account the water quality and low costs in its construction, the pumping from the Isla station.
