There are many indices and indicators of water performance
at the basin level available worldwide; however, in a global context where
sustainability is highly valued, the need to develop tools that enable the
monitoring of basins from their administration and water and environmental
management, becomes more pressing. The GWI (green watershed index) methodology
is presented, as an extension of urban control methodologies, but this time for
rural watersheds. The method is implemented in some rural areas of Colombia,
and in some cases, the difficulty of implementing the methodology is evidenced,
and in other cases the opportunity to improve the management and administration
of water resources at the level of rural basins. The effort of the municipality
of Chiquiza at the beginning of sustainable policies is highlighted,
specifically in what has to do with wastewater treatment, complying with the
environmental regulations in force in Colombia given by the Ministry of the
Environment.
