REGIONALIZING AWARE PER HYDROGRAPHIC
SUBZONE OF COLOMBIA Ing. Maly Puerto López*, MSc. Simon Gmünder**
• Almost all territory has the same water scarcity, but
• Scarcity episodes and locations: i.e. Valle del Cauca and Bolivar

Methodology
• Sub-basin areas: 361 hydrographic subzones (IDEAM, 2013)
Data: ENA 2014 (IDEAM, 2015)
• Water availability: water balance with data from 1937 meteorological stations and 464 hydrological stations
• Water Consumption: ENA 2014 - Official entities (DANE, agroindustrial associations, Municipalities..)
• Environmental Flow: D3930/2010; flow duration curve (q85 and Q75) depending on hydric regulation

Location Global data National data
Cali (valle del Cauca) : 10 m3 x 0.1 = 1 m3eq 10 m3 x 1.5 = 15 m3
eq
Cartagena (Bolívar) : 10 m3 x 2.7 = 27 m3eq 10 m3 x 100 = 1000 m3
eq
Bogotá (Cundinamarca) : 10 m3 x 0.4 = 4 m3eq 10 m3 x 2.2 = 22 m3
eq
• Water consumption: 10 m3
• Water scarcity footprint:
Conclusions
• Most of subzones AWARE change was not significant
• But in some subzones AWARE was greater than 1, while global data is close to 0: Atlántico, Valle del Cauca and Bogotá
• This may be associated to: i) water demand close to big cities and industrial areas, ii) Water availability variation due to climate temporal and geographical variability (i.e. Niño)
• Limitations: Annual data. Delimitation (boundary’s rivers, aquifers availability). Global average change when including local data.
Recommendations
• Google Earth layer available en: https://www.shareweb.ch/site/Suiz-Agua-Colombia/Publicaciones/Pages/default.aspx
• Local data when possible, moreover in areas of high human activities concentration
• Develop methods with downscale in mind
