Description
Summary:Water resources are of great importance in the administration of protected areas. This is linked to the quality of surface water bodies that pro-vide different eco-systemic services, since they shelter different species of fauna and flora. In relation to Resolution 1596 of 2006 adopted by the General Direction of the CAR, which states the Management Plan for the Integrated Management District (DMI by its abbreviation in Spanish) in the area of Salto del Tequendama - Cerro Manjui, attached to the Water Cycle Management program and in relation with the "Water Quality Control" project, states the evaluation of the conditions of the different water sources in relation to water collection given by the communities as one of its objectives, and at the same time exposes the determinants of the conditions that take place in the surface water bodies. In this article, a correlation of the uses that are stated in the management plan will be performed in order to com-pare the results, which are obtained by means of the environmental monitoring that is evaluating the control and management of the "Water Quality Control". Based on the evaluation of water quality, it was possible to determine whether the uses that are defined in the Management Plan are appropriate, by linking them to the Water Quality Control program. Calculations were also made conducive to obtain indicators that would allow us to estimate the quality of the water and possible sources of pollution.
