Esquematización de la cuenca del río Bogotá a través de software especializado aplicado al acuerdo no. 43 de 2006 para la clasificación de los usos del agua teniendo en cuenta los valores máximos permisibles de contaminantes de interés sanitario y la identificación de los usuarios

Abstract

Along the Bogotá River basin, which comprises five segments divided as follows: Upper-High basin from the area between Villapinzón and Tibitoc, Upper-Low basin from Tibitoc to the hydrometeorological station La Virgen, Middle basin from the hydrometeorological station La Virgen to the Alicachín gates, near the Muña reservoir, Lower-High basin from the Muña reservoir to the Apulo River discharge, and Lower-Low basin from the Apulo River discharge to the mouth of the Bogotá River into the Magdalena, different types of discharges are evident, which according to Agreement No. 43 of 2006 can be differentiated into five classes, each comprising certain parameters including organic, solid, and sanitary interest, which must be taken into account to identify the maximum allowed value and subsequently be placed in one of these classes. Many of the industries or entities that discharge their wastewater into any of these segments mnare unaware of the class they may belong to or if their parameters are within the appropriate range to comply with the regulations. Therefore, a schematization is mnproposed using GIS software tools such as ArcGIS to determine through maps these industries, classify them according to the class established by the agreement, and verify if they are potential contaminating agents for the Bogotá River basin.
