Abstract

This research is focuses on the following question: Is it possible that the Department of Cundinamarca, through the integral management of the resources of the Departmental Water Plan, secure the provision of the aqueduct service with the levels of purification and additionality guarantee the right to life and the protection of the social rights of its population? Ad hoc, an analysis of the resources invested since 2009 was carried out, the time in which the Cundinamarca water plan began until 2019, with the aim of analyzing the results in improving water quality and the quality of life of the population of the department. The investigation begins, with the definition of concepts, structure and contextualization of the departmental water plans, based on current law and its development in the Constitutional Court and State Council, where it has been established as a fundamental right that water be drinkable for human consumption. Subsequently, a statistical report was made, in relation to information sent by the different public institutions of the departmental and national order, with which the current law and the resources invested were confronted with regard to the quality of the water, concluding that despite the considerable resources invested, the quality of the water has not been improved in the department, especially in rural areas, and therefore there is a deterioration in the quality of life of its population. The solution to this problem is to build a social dialogue with the participation of each of the actors involved, promoting solutions aimed at achieving the general well-being of the community, based on the deliberative democracy proposed by Jürger Habermas.
