Resumen
The purpose of this project is to deepen the importance of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the aqueduct system of the village of El Volcán, La Calera Cundinamarca; The aqueducts are a system that allows water to be transported in a continuous flow from a place where it is accessible in nature, to a point of distant consumption, the most important element of this system is the water source from which the water is captured for the consumption and sanitation of the inhabitants of the village El Volcán. The community of the village El Volcán is located in the rural area of the municipality of La Calera 8 kilometers from its municipal seat and 20 kilometers from Bogotá. Currently in the community there is a population of approximately 1,500 inhabitants distributed in 508 families, it has a elementary school and a Catholic chapel. To go to the health center, the community needs to go to the urban center. The path of the Volcano has an untreated water collection system of the Cimaya and Cerro Verde streams that present pollution. The project consists of the construction of the aqueduct that provides potable water service to the inhabitants of the village and the strengthening of the community organization with this water system is expected to improve the sanitation conditions, benefiting the inhabitants. In their lines of Cimaya and Cerro Verde they lack several fundamental structures for the optimization of the system. Its inhabitants consume raw water from said Quebradas, it has two driving networks which were built 25 years ago, one that takes the service from the upper part of the Cimaya stream and that through two pipes reach the distribution tanks and the other one that from the broken green hill but with a single conduction takes its waters to the tanks. By means of which it is established to design the PTAP (drinking water treatment plant) and the appropriate modifications of the supply network will be carried out through the identification, quantification and characterization of the same, in which the impacts will be visualized. To carry out the Environmental Impact Assessment, work must be coordinated with the engineering designs, participating in a timely manner in the analyzes that must be carried out jointly for the purposes of environmental management control over the protection, conservation and renewal of the natural resources affected. , the minimum environmental indicators should be established for these resources to be taken into account during the entire life of the work by the person providing the public water supply service. The work shows that there is a great potential for the promotion of good water management to help solve the problem of managing aqueducts in a viable, socially desirable and environmentally appropriate manner.
