Sistematización de la Experiencia: Delimitación y Recuperación de la Ronda Hídrica Laguna de Fúquene

Abstract

At the national level, work has been carried out to delimit the round of some water sources that are of great importance due to their location and their ecosystem services, in this sense, the water rounds play an essential role to preserve the country's water wealth since they are considered as a riparian zone, where there are interactions between terrestrial and aquatic environments such as transfers of water, nutrients, sediments, organic matter and organisms. It is worth mentioning that in the Cundiboyacense highlands, the delimitation and protection of the water round of the Fúquene lagoon was advanced. The delimitation is the establishment of the physical limit of the hydric round of the bodies of water, and its limit is drawn from the line of maximum tides or that of the permanent channel of rivers and lakes. Initially, the governmental environmental entities had to establish a methodology for the delimitation of water roundabouts for the area of their jurisdiction, being the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca - CAR, one of the pioneers in the subject with the development of the "Methodological Guide for the Delimitation of Zones is Round in the Jurisdiction of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca - CAR”. This document proposes a methodology that involves aspects such as land topography, ecosystem analysis, hydrological study, hydraulic behavior, property analysis and finally establishes an analysis of zoning and land use.
