What happens when a city surrounded by mountains, fed by rivers, and known for rain suddenly starts running out of water?

In this episode of Our Water Connection, we turn our focus to Colombia - my home country - to explore Bogotá’s current water challenges. Joining me is Professor Juan Saldarriaga, a leading expert in urban hydraulic systems with over 25 years of experience in water distribution and urban drainage.

We discuss:

• The factors behind Bogotá’s water crisis
• The impacts on residents and industries
• The role of climate change vs. infrastructure and governance
• Strategies to improve resilience in future droughts

This episode is recorded in Kaurna Country and the land of Colombia’s Indigenous peoples.
