Identificación de indicadores de riesgo de contaminación de agua provenientes de fuentes superficiales de los sistemas Río Frío y Neusa, ubicados en el departamento de Cundinamarca

Abstract

The following are the results of a study evaluating contamination risk indicators in water samples from a major supply network located in the department of Cundinamarca. This work constitutes a significant contribution to ongoing research being conducted by the Faculty of Engineering at Universidad La Gran Colombia, which aims to evaluate traces of agrochemicals that could affect the mentioned network through runoff. Initially, a characterization of the area was performed, including an assessment of the Water Quality Risk Index between the years 2019, within the framework of Resolution 2115. Subsequently, the network's intake points were located, and using the free software QGIS, certain areas were revealed, enabling the delineation of watersheds and the identification of areas based on attributes such as water, trees, crops, urban areas, grass, and others. Based on the results, vulnerable zones for contamination due to land use were identified, and sampling points for quantitative risk evaluation were established.
