Análisis en los efectos del consumo del recurso hídrico debido al incremento de las poblaciónes flotante y permanente en la ciudad de Pamplona, Norte de Santander en el periodo 2018 -2021.

Abstract

The water resource currently presents shortages that have occurred due to pollution generated by man and that give way to meteorological and climatic changes, which compromises the populations at international, national and regional level, aimed at the conservation of this resource so fundamental for the survival of the different species on the planet. Therefore, the present research internship carried out in the service company EMPOPAMPLONA S.A. E.S.P, studies as a problem the effect that the floating population has on the deficit of water resources in the city of Pamplona, Norte de Santander, during the period 2018 -2021. Firstly, the availability of the water resource transported by the Cariongo, Rosal, Mono and Potreritos streams, the main supply sources of the Cariongo and Monteadentro treatment plants, was determined, where the low volume of flow was observed due to the climatic changes that have influenced the streams during the study period. Similarly, it was established as a hypothesis that the floating population had a higher consumption (measured in m3) with respect to the permanent population in the city, when relating these consumptions of each population it was evidenced that the consumption of the permanent population is higher, as observed in the years in 2018-2021, highlighting the years 2020-2021. Due to the sanitary crisis that was generated worldwide (covid 19), the floating population migrated to their places of origin but at the same time there was the return of many native inhabitants of this province of Pamplona compensating the floating population (who traveled to their place of origin), therefore it is observed that the consumption of the water resource produced is spent among the resident population. On the other hand, when comparing the effects that the floating and permanent populations have on the water and/or water produced by the EMPOPAMPLONA S.A. E.S.P. service company, it could be observed that a large amount of the water produced is consumed by the resident population. it could be observed that a large amount of water produced (measured in m3), do not keep a balance with the consumption of the populations and neither the water legally billed by the company, where it was possible to discard the hypothesis raised above and taught us that has a greater impact on the effects of behavior is the Index of Unaccounted Water (IANC) that affects the environmental, economic and social environment in the city and in the company..
