Integral Network Management: A Case Study of Bogotá and the Empresa de Acueducto, Alcantarillado y Aseo de Bogotá, EAB ESP

The mere construction of water distribution networks (WDNs) doesn't necessarily guarantee the adequate provision of the service. Similarly, a growing demand for potable water cannot be solved by increasing the obtainment and production systems, and a system's lifespan doesn't exclusively depend on the quality of its components, since a proper management and maintenance are required as well. This document describes the articulation of technical and operative actions that have been applied to Bogotá WDN with the hopes of (1) generating control tools that facilitate the system's administration and operation (2) maximizing the use of the system's components, and (3) optimizes the available water.
