Water Optimization in Large-scale Infrastructure Interventions in Colombia: a Perspective From Waste Management

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Infrastructure development has historically been a pillar of economic growth in Colombia, but also a significant source of pressure on natural resources, especially water. This article analyzes how waste management can become an effective strategy for optimizing water use in large-scale infrastructure interventions. A critical and proactive review of current practices is presented, emphasizing the need to integrate comprehensive waste management as a key tool for water sustainability. Based on national experiences, the article proposes guidelines for future projects seeking to minimize their environmental footprint without compromising functionality or social impact.
