Caracterización de las fuentes abastecedoras de las plantas de tratamiento de agua potable: Alto de Águila, Galán y Regional de Cogua - municipio de Zipaquirá, departamento de Cundinamarca

Abstract

This document presents the characterization of an important drinking water supply network, located in the Department of Cundinamarca, which distributes this important liquid to the municipalities of Zipaquirá, Nemocón and Cogua. This network is made up of two systems: Neusa and Río Frío. Initially, a schematic description of the conformation of the aforementioned systems was made in order to identify land uses, such as agriculture and cattle raising practices. Next, satellite images were used to identify certain vulnerability indicators of the supply sources of the systems mentioned above and to describe part of the morphology of each of the supply basins. Based on the results obtained from this characterization, it is possible to identify representative sampling points for further studies to evaluate the risk associated with the use of agrochemicals in the area and to provide data for updating the corresponding risk maps.
