Pavimentos de las calles de Bogotá

Abstract

The image presents a news item about: “pavements of the streets of Bogotá (Conclusion). 3. ͣ Drains.” The arrangement of the drains or sewers that receive the wastewater from the houses, but also the rainwater, due to the penetration of bad odors that has already caused illnesses and floods, due to its poor design, has been much discussed. It is proposed to create a sewerage network covered with better materials and the best way to resist the soil and the pressure of the water, the problem is that no technical study has been done, everything has been done by chance and what is more noticeable without consulting the city plans. All sewers have tiny dimensions that make inspection and cleaning impossible. They are all generally poorly built. Published by the Magazine.
