Learning Alliances – SWITCH Project 1

1 INTRODUCTION During the last years, the Universidad del Valle has been working to guarantee the sustainability of research and development activities to stimulate team work among the institutions involved in the water sector to reach sustainable solutions for the integrated management of water resources in Cali. Within this context, Universidad del Valle has worked on SWITCH Project, with the support of the European Union and the participation of institutions from Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America, naming Cali is a Demonstration City at the beginning of 2008. During 2007, the case study of Cali initiates with the establishment of the Learning Alliances. This process included the development of three workshops held during the same year (April 13, October 4, November 17), in which the main stakeholders involved in water resource management in the basin of the Cauca River valley and the city of Cali were identified as well as the identification of the main limitations and possibilities of applying the SWITCH concepts in order to generate a paradigm shift in urban water management. During 2008, the Learning Alliances continued with a strengthening process, as an opportunity to work towards common targets and to achieve sustainable results in terms of water management in Cali. These Alliances are aimed at stimulating teamwork in the process to contribute in the search of sustainable solutions for the city’s water management, and three specific urban water management critical problems in the city, were defined jointly by the stakeholders: 1) the water quality of the Cauca River and its impact on the water supply system of Cali, 2) the drainage system for the Southern area of the city of Cali, and 3) rhe planned expansion area in the South of Cali, and the possibility of including innovative strategies. During the workshops of May 14th and 21st of 2008, the application of the “visioning” technique was introduced to the participants. As a result of this work, a general vision of Cali and the visions to 2040 were constructed for each of the three topics of the Learning Alliances; the key factors were identified to meet the vision and the scenarios, the strategies and the activities to offer solutions to the problems of every topic were defined. One key factor identified by the stakeholders in the exercise of constructing scenarios to reach the common vision in the three Alliances, is the interinstitutional and intersectorial leadership work making efficient use of available resources. As an initial strategy to approach this leadership factor and support the different scenario proposals, a revision of the plans, programmes and projects being developed by the institutions was made in order to identify the synergies, gaps and conflicts existing among them, and the teamwork opportunities of the Learning Alliances. As a result of these activities, proposals for new projects or work ideas emerge with the three Learning Alliances, with different members of institutions such as EMCALI, Universidad Autónoma de Occidente, Universidad del Valle, DAGMA, and COMFANDI, having the opportunity to include other institutions.



The present document contains a description of Cali and its wastewater management in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents the historical background of the evolution of the Learning Alliances that result from the work done by Universidad del Valle with different institutions. An analysis of the legal and political context in which the revised plans, programmes and projects are proposed is shown in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 describes the criteria, methodology and analysis of plans and projects identified in the three Learning Alliances work. This analysis identifies the synergies, gaps and conflicts existing among the plans, analyzes the projects and makes some remarks and recommendations. Chapter 6 presents the projects and proposals developed in the context of the Learning Alliances. At the end, Chapter 7 presents some final considerations.



2 DESCRIPTION OF WATER MANAGEMENT IN CALI 2.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF CALI The city of Cali is the capital of the Valle del Cauca department. It is located in the south-western part of Colombia, between the central mountain range and the Pacific Ocean. It is the principal city basin of the Pacific Ocean and the main administrative center of the southwestern region of the country. Figure 2.1 shows Cali’s location.

Figure 2.1 Geographic location of Cali

The city of Cali is located in a tropical zone, and there are no seasons that affect the climate, which is mostly defined by the mountainous topography and by the elevation above sea level, so the weather ranges between average, cold and hot temperatures (DAPM, 2000). The urban area of Cali is located at an elevation ranging from 900 to 1,200 m above sea level, and averages temperatures of approximately 24°C. There is a lack of frequent precipitation which on average is less than 1,000 mm/year (SIL, 2007). Cali is the third largest Colombian city with a population of 2,075,380 inhabitants, 85% of which are in strata 1, 2 or 3. Stratum is a way of economically classifying the population sectors of the city. Therefore, strata 1 and 2 correspond to the most economically stressed groups and strata 3, 4, 5 and 6 correspond to the economical middle and upper classes (DANE, 2005). The city consists of two zones: 1) the consolidated existing urban area consisting of 22 “comunas” or districts, and 2) the future development area which is located in the south-eastern part of the city and consists of 2 areas: The “special area of Navarro” and the “Cali-Jamundí Corridor” (see Figure 2.1) (EMCALI, 2007). Table 2.1 shows some facts and figures related with socio-cultural aspects and the coverage of water services for city of Cali.

2.2 WATER RESOURCES The hydrographic network of Cali is made up of seven rivers (see Figure 2.2): Pance, Meléndez, Lilí, Cañaveralejo, Cali, Aguacatal and Cauca, which determine the centers of urbanisation and economic development of the city. The rivers Cauca, Cali, Meléndez and Pance are the city’s water supply sources. There are five drinking water treatment plants, with the Cauca River being the main source for 77% of Cali’s population (approximately one million and a half inhabitants). Three other plants use water from the Cali, Pance and Meléndez rivers. Table 2.2 shows the installed capacity and the drinking water supply for the five plants in Cali and the average daily flows of the water supplying rivers.

Source: EMCALI, 2007. Technical Planning Department Cali´s rivers have been affected in their composition and characteristics along their way through the urban area of Cali. The main characteristics affected are: river bank area, margins, route, quality and quantity of water. Some of these rivers have become also part of the drainage system of Cali, being receptors of domestic and industrial wastewater produced in the city: 1) the Cañaveralejo, Meléndez and Líli rivers discharge into the South Channel in the southern drainage area of Cali; 2) the Aguacatal River pours into the Cali river, which finally discharges into the Cauca River, after collecting wastewater discharges from the collector on the left margin of North-west drainage area. The Cauca River is the second most important water source of Colombia. It has a length of 1,350 km., crossing the country from South to North, until it meets the Magdalena River (Figure 2.3). The Cauca River basin is divided and classified into three sections: High Cauca, Mid-Cauca and Lower Cauca. The High Cauca extends from its source through the Cauca and Valle del Cauca departments, until the municipality of La Virginia (located in the Risaralda department), with a length of 445 km (CVC et al., 2004).

Upstream of Cali, from Hormiguero to just before the South Channel, the Cauca River receives discharges of domestic and industrial wastewater from the Desbaratado river, the stream Zanjón Oscuro, and water discharges from the Palo and Jamundí rivers, located upstream of Hormiguero. In Cali, the Cauca River acts as the final discharge site for wastewater produced in the city. Through the sewage system, the city drains its wastewaters and stormwaters directly through the left margin of the Cauca River. Table 2.3 shows the flows and BOD load discharges measured at the six wastewater discharge points from the city.

Table 2.3 Flows and BOD load discharges measured at the final wastewater discharge points. Year 2005.

Final wastewater discharge points Flow (L/s) BOD (kg/day) South Channel 2417 14212 Collector Margen Izquierdo 808 10981 Floralia Pumping Station 150 4432 Paso del Comercio Pumping Station 791 5809 Puerto Mallarino Pumping Station 29 183 Sludge from Puerto Mallarino 247 7060 WwTP-C effluent with TPA 3417 41921 Source: Adapted from EMCALI et al., 2006

The largest wastewater flows from the city of Cali come from the South channel and effluent from the Cañaveralejo wastewater treatment plant (WwTP-C). On the other hand, the effluent from the WwTP-C represents the biggest BOD load discharge into the river, whether adding ferric chloride or not (TPA). The WwTP-C receives and treats around 56 % of the total wastewater flow produced in the city (EMCALI, 2007). However, its discharge impact on the Cauca River is the highest since the dilution capacity of the river at that point is affected by this critical single load. The deterioration of the water quality of the Cauca River is threatening safe water supply to the population, with the risk of increasing to acute and chronic levels beyond the capacity of treatment of the Río Cauca and Puerto Mallarino plants. The two most important sources of contamination upstream of the water intake of the Puerto Mallarino Plant are the south channel and the Navarro disposal site, located around 5 km upstream the Puerto Mallarino water intake. The sewage system in Cali is divided into three drainage systems: the South Drainage System (SDS), the North-West Drainage System (SDN) and the East Drainage System (SDO). Figure 2.4 shows the areas of drainage of each one of these systems (EMCALI et a., 2006). In spite of having these three drainage systems, Cali directly drains its wastewaters and stormwaters through the left margin of the Cauca River, using the following discharge points: 1) South Channel, 2) Puerto Mallarino pumping station, 3) sludge from drinking



water of Puerto Mallarino plant, 4) effluent from wastewater treatment plant Cañaveralejo (WwTP-C), and 5) paso del Comercio pumping station. Recently, the wastewater influent to the pumping station of Floralia and the discharge of the Left Margin Collector, were conduced directly to WwTP-C.

Figure 2.4 Drainage systems in the city of Cali.

Source: EMCALI et al., 2006 The drainage system of the city presents problems associated with: 1) the presence of wastewater in stormwater channels, 2) inadequate disposal of solid waste that causes clogging of channels, 3)the presence of sediments in channels, 4) the poor condition of drainage system structures, such as Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), 5) the presence of slums, and 6) the presence of hazardous substances, especially in the South Drainage System, coming mainly from the industrial discharges and leachates from Navarro’s disposal site.



3 LEARNING ALLIANCES OF CALI 3.1 CONSOLIDATION OF THE LEARNING ALLIANCES During 2007, the case study of Cali initiates with the establishment of the Learning Alliances. This process included the development of three workshops held during the same year (April 13, October 4, and November 17), in which the main stakeholders involved in water resource management in the basin of the Cauca River valley and the city of Cali were identified as well as the main limitations and possibilities of applying the SWITCH concepts in order to generate a paradigm shift in urban water management. The selection of stakeholders was based on the experience of the Cinara Institute and Universidad del Valle in work done with sector institutions in projects related with the integrated management of water resources. These institutions saw, in the Learning Alliances, the opportunity to do intersectorial and interinstitutional work in search of common objectives and to achieve sustainable results in terms of water management in Cali. Also these institutions admit that the city has a water crisis and that the conventional strategies implemented up to the moment will not provide effective solutions. The objective of Cali’s Learning Alliances is to stimulate teamwork in the process to contribute in the search of sustainable solutions for the city’s water management. Solutions have been shaped from three specific critical urban water management problems in the city, which were defined jointly by the stakeholders: 1. The water quality of the Cauca River and its impact on the water supply system of Cali. 2. The drainage system for South of the city of Cali. 3. The planned expansion area in the South of Cali, and the possibility of including

innovative strategies. Annex 1 shows the main activities in 2007; among others, the Diagnosis of Urban Water Management for the city of Cali. Thanks to progress made during 2007 as a case study, Cali becomes a demo city at the beginning of 2008. During 2008, the process of consolidation of the Alliances continued with the development of new workshops and other activities (see Annex 1). 3.2 ALLIANCES WORK TOPICS 33..22..11 The water quality of the Cauca River and its impact on Cali’s water supply

system Cali’s drinking water system is operated by EMCALI. It is supplied by 5 plants with a total installed capacity of 11,9 m3/s. These plants are: Puerto Mallarino (6,6 m3/s); Río Cauca (2,5 m3/s); Río Cali (1,8 m3/s); La Reforma (1,0 m ³/s), and recently EMCALI began the operation of La Ribera plant with a production of 0,030 m ³/s.



The city of Cali is 77% dependant on the Cauca River for drinking water supply. The deterioration of the quality of this source is threatening safe water supply to the population, with the risk reaching acute and chronic levels beyond the capacity of the Río Cauca and Puerto Mallarino treatment plants. The two most important sources of contamination upstream of the water intake of the Puerto Mallarino Plant are the south channel and the Navarro disposal site located around 5 km upstream from the Puerto Mallarino water intake. Also, before the mouth of the South Channel, the Cauca River receives the discharges of domestic and industrial wastewater of its tributaries, the Timba, Palo, and Jamundí Rivers and Zanjon Oscuro, and other discharges from the agricultural and industrial sectors. Figure 3.1 shows the location of Puerto Mallarino’ Water Intake, South Channel, Navarro dump and some tributary rivers.

Figure 3.1 Location of Puerto Mallarino water intake, South Channel, Navarro dump and

some tributary rivers The level of contamination of the Cauca River is reflected in the oxygen curve recorded at the water intake point of the Puerto Mallarino, where DO levels reach values lower than 2 MgO2/L, and EMCALI suspends raw water intake (see Figure 3.2). The low DO levels caused operational shutdowns at the Puerto Mallarino plant for periods of approximately three hours. Additional to the problems caused by operational shutdowns due to contamination of the Cauca River, potential risk of contamination in the water has also been found, due to high concentrations of phenol compounds, some metals and organic matter, which cause by-product formations as a result of the disinfection process of the water treatment, which presents average concentrations of 1,62E+06 FCU/100ml in the water intake site of Puerto Mallarino (EMCALI and Universidad del Valle, 2006).

Puerto Mallarino Río Cauca Figure 3.2 Shutoff times at Puerto Mallarino and Rio Cauca, 2000 to 2007

Source: EMCALI and Universidad del Valle, 2007 Suspension of solids is a critical aspect of the South Channel during rainy periods, generating a high pollutant load in a short period of time, affecting the quality of raw water to be treated. 33..22..22 The drainage system for Southern Cali This system drains by gravity the South-western part of the city through the main channel called the South Channel. Its other principal channels are the Cañaveralejo channel (which is the Cañaveralejo River after being channeled) and the Ferrocarril channel. The drainage system intercepts the Meléndez and Líli Rivers. The final wastewater discharge of this system is the Cauca River. The discharge point is located approximately 5 km. upstream of the water intake point of the drinking water plants of Puerto Mallarino and Río Cauca, causing: 1) an increase in the risk of use of the water supply source of the city, 2) a greater demand in the operational capacity of the drinking water treatment systems, and 3) an increase in purification costs. Figure 3.3 describes the South Drainage System. The South Drainage System contributes with an average flow of 1,71 m3/s to the Cauca River, out of which 70% comes from the Ferrocaril and Cañaveralejo channels and 30% comes from the Melendez and Líli rivers during the dry season (EMCALI, 2007). A study carried out by MANOV (2006), a consultancy firm, reported that one of the main causes for wastewater presence are the illegal connections. In this regard, the Cañaveralejo Channel shows approximately 41% of wastewater presence, followed by the Melendez-Líli rivers subsystem with 34%, and finally, the Ferrocaril System with 25%. Since the final South Drainage discharge point into the Cauca River is located approximately 5 km. upstream of the intake point of the drinking water plant of Puerto Mallarino, water quality can be affected by the South Channel discharges and can represent a potential danger to human health.

The South Drainage System also presents problems related with commercial and industrial activities, leachates from Navarro dump, pesticides and fertilizers, solid waste and debris, slums, and sediments in the Upper and Mid Cañaveralejo-Meléndez river basins. The presence of hazardous substances in wastewaters coming from the South Drainage Systems has been proven. These substances include: phenols, chromium, mercury, and lead coming from the industrial discharges into the sewage system and from leachates. The recorded values for these substances do not comply with Colombian legislation (EMCALI, 2007). Figure 3.4 shows the values of these contaminants in the South Drainage System in 2006. Likewise, it shows recorded values in comparison to national limits for the discharge of wastewater into open water bodies (Article 72, Decree 1594/84), and for the allowable limits of water quality for human consumption, looking at it from the point of view of the Cauca River being the receiver of such substances (Article 38, Decree 1594/84). This situation is dramatic since the contamination of the main water source for the city of Cali is developing into a chronic contamination event. Figure 3.4 shows that the Cañaveralejo river and Cañaveralejo channel sampling points are within limits established by Colombian legislation (Art 74, Decree 1594/84) for the allowable values of total phenols, lead, chromium and mercury. However, the recorded values are over the limits established in Articles 38 and 39 for discharges into water bodies that are intended for human consumption (prior to treatment).

33..22..33 The planned expansion area in the South of Cali and the possibility of including innovative strategies

Cali’s future urban expansion area is located in the southern part of the city and is composed by the sectors named: Corredor Cali – Jamundí and Regimen Diferido de Navarro (special expansion area) (see Figure 3.5). Both sectors: Cali-Jamundí and Navarro will be developed and classified according to the economical status of their inhabitants, by “strata”. Strata is a way of economically classifying the sectors in the city; hence, strata 1 and 2 correspond to the most economically stressed groups and strata 3, 4, 5 and 6 correspond to middle class to upper class economic groups. In this regard, Navarro sector is meant to be for strata 1 and 2, and the Cali-Jamundí Corridor for strata 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Figure 3.5 Current and future area distribution in the city of Cali

Source: adapted of MDE et al, 1998. The total Navarro sector area is 823.74 hectares, from which 615.52 ha. are designed to be urbanis ed and 196.6 ha correspond to the so called “ejidos municipales”, which are community property areas. The soils in the sector are adapted for agriculture and cattle breeding, having sugar cane as the main crop. The soils in the sector are characterised by low hardness, with a high level of liquefaction and a high degree of enlargement of seismic waves. Navarro sector is established in an area under risk of floods by stormwater or overflow of the South Channel and the Cauca River. The solid waste disposal site of Navarro, which operated until June, 2008, was located in that area. According to the Municipal Planning Department (DAPM), there currently are three approved urbanisation developments (partial urbanisation plans) in the Cali-Jamundí sector. The POT defined that the “Regimen Diferido de Navarro” is not directly included within the established areas for future urban development. However, the POT states that the area may be used in the future as an urban development sector, provided that urbanisation and environmental studies are performed. In these zones of future development, there have been evaluation studies made for the different alternatives of water services, such as water supply and sewage systems.



Moreover, the only currently available information regarding drinking water supply and sanitation services in this expansion sector are the feasibility studies undertaken by EMCALI in 2005 who hired the consultancy firm Hidrooccidente to make the feasibility studies for the delivery of such services. Therefore, all the information described in the Cali-Jamundí section corresponds to the study carried out by EMCALI and Hidrooccidente (2006). The south expansion area is not provided with a scheme of general urban development. The offers of urban development are individual, principally requested by construction companies that have purchased land in the sector to develop their own areas, where the solutions are still under regulations, technologies and conventional practices.



4 CONTEXT FOR THE PROPOSAL OF PLANS, PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS

4.1 DEFINITIONS Following are plans, programmes and project definititions proposed by the institutions in charge of them. A plan is the integration of programmes trying to reach a common goal. The plan includes the general objectives and breaks them down into specific objectives. A plan is supported by a document that analyzes the goals, strategies, policies, guidelines and tactics in an orderly and coherent manner, in order to achieve the goal. A plan is a flexible dynamic instrument that may be modified in its components in order to carry out periodical evaluations of its results. A programme is a set of projects with a common baseline, with objectives aligned with the core objective of the organisation that implements it. It is a master instrument derived from institutional planning done with the objective of complying with an organisation’s functions. An action plan is then established, as well as the objectives or goals that may, or not be quantified, that have to be complied with through the integration of a set of efforts requiring a combination of human, technological, material and financial efforts. It also requires the establishment of specific times and space in which the objectives will be developed and assignment of responsibilities to one or several executing and well coordinated units. A project is an articulated and coherent set of specific activities, works or actions oriented towards objectives and goals defined in a programme or sub-programme, following an established methodology. These activities, works or actions have a defined starting and completion date and uses limited resources to obtain the desired objective in the short, medium or long term. Figure 4.1 represents the general concept of a project. Figure 4.2 shows the main attributes associated with the concept definition of a project.

¡ 4.2 INSTITUTIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK 44..22..11 National level At the national level, the Ministry of the Environment, Housing and Territorial Development (MAVDT) is the institution in charge of defining policies and regulations at the technical, economical and planning levels for the recovery, conservation, protection, management and favorable use of natural resources to be followed by public and private institutions, as well as by stakeholders commited to water management in urban centers and regional environments from a Sustainable Development point of view. Besides, the MAVDT, jointly with the Ministry for Social Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, defines the quality requirements to be met by the water supply service providers and coordinates the development and implementation of natural resource protection and productive use policies. There are other national institutions such as the National Planning Direction (DNP) and the Water and Sanitation Regulatory Commission (CRA) in charge of designing, orienting and evaluating Colombian public policies, public investment management and allocation, definition of private sector framework, and the implementation of such frameworks in the government plans, programmes and projects, in the social, economic and environmental fields. Figure 4.3 shows the Colombian institutional structure for the management of the water resources.

Figure 4.3 Colombian institutional structure for water resource management

Source: Cinara, 2007-



Among the main policies and standards developed at the national level for the definition of sustainable development strategies from the integrated water resource vision are: the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) policies (1996) in charge of basin planning and efficient use of water; the National Cleaner Production Policy (1997), which defines the objectives and strategies to prevent and minimize human and environmental risks, to guarantee environmental protection, economic growth, social wellbeing and entrepreneurial competitiveness. Law 373 (1997) regulates efficient use of water and defines the strategies for better water management, including the reuse. Public policies have been set for the colombian water supply and basic sanitation sectors (2001), with the objective of proposing IWRM strategies and to focus state actions to guarantee access to water supply, sewage and sanitation services for lower income populations. The National Wastewater Management Plan (MAVDT, 2004) structures the sectorial and environmental management strategies oriented to solve water contamination problems caused by municipal and industrial wastewater discharges. The National Development Plan 2006 -2010 offers strategies for environmental sustainability, Water Resources Integrated Management, actions related to water decontamination through the implementation of PMAR and the development of a water resource integrated policy. There are also policy guidelines set by the Economic and Social Policies National Council - CONPES, created by Law 19 of 1958, under the direction of the Presidency of Colombia. Following are the CONPES related with the (3) Learning Alliances described in Chapter 3. CONPES 3177 of 2002 “Priority Actions and Guidelines for the Formulation of a National Plan for the Management of Wastewater” which proposes different water quality improvement strategies as the foundation for feasibility and economic, social and environmental sustainability, such as the implementation of a Plan for Sanitation and Management of Wastewater Discharges (PSMV), as a planning instrument (DNP et al., 2002). CONPES 3246 of 2003 “Policy Guidelines for the Water Supply and Sewage Sector” which defines the guidelines for the management of the water supply and sewage systems. It looks for strategies to reach economic subsidies for the tariffs, and new tariffs based on the efficiency and quality criteria in the delivery of public services. CONPES 3253 of 2003 “Strategic Importance of the Entrepreneurial Modernisation in the Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Sectors” establishes the importance of the Entrepreneurial Modernisation Programme (PME), through which the MAVDT executes its policy of promoting the private sector’s participation in drinking water and basic sanitation services. CONPES 3305 of 2004 “Alignments to Optimize the Urban Development Policy” presents alignments for the optimisation and implementation of urban development policies. CONPES 0091 of 2005 “Goals and Strategies of Colombia for the Achievement of 2015 Millennium Development Objectives” which defines actions to be implemented and the



national goals that may be met by 2015 to comply with the eight millennium development objectives. One of these objectives is environmental sustainability. CONPES 3343 of 2005 “Sustainable Development Alignments and Strategies for the Water, Environment and Territorial Development Sectors" Guidelines and strategies for sustainable development of the water, environmental and land sectors. It strives to strengthen the environmental governability to make it efficient, effective, transparent and equal. CONPES 3383 of 2005 “Development Plan of the Water Supply and Sewage Sector” establishes policy, strategy and goal guidelines for the development of the water supply and basic sanitation development that allows reaching coverage and quality levels according to the country’s development perspectives. The objective of the standardisation framework for contamination control is to mitigate impact caused by wastewater disposal in receptor bodies and is mainly implemented through two instruments: a control instrument supported by Decree 1594, 1984 and an economic instrument known as a compensation rate for the direct use of water as receptor of specific discharges regulated by Decrees 3100 of 2003 and 3440 of 2004. Later, Resolutions 1433-2004 and 2145-2005 were issued, regulating the formulation of Sanitation and Discharge Management Plans that have to be followed by sewage service provider entities and presented before the due environmental authorities for approval. The national standardisation framework establishes water quality technical standards in Resolution 2115 of 2007 and regulates the need of formulating Water Basin Development and Management Plans in Decree 1729 of 2002 (POMCAs) (Concejo de Santiago de Cali, 2008). 44..22..22 Regional level In Colombia, the jurisdiction areas of environmental authorities have been conceived based on political and administrative boundaries, rather than water basin areas. This results, as consequence, institutional plans which do not include integrated approaches and actions in terms of the water basin. The Cauca River basin is an example since it is under the jurisdiction of several regional autonomous corporations, depending on its journey through the country, including the following: Regional Corporation of Cauca – CRC, Regional Corporation of Valle del Cauca–CVC, Regional Corporation of Quindío – CRQ, Regional Corporation of Risaralda – CARDER, Regional Corporation of Caldas – CORPOCALDAS, Regional Corporation of Antioquia – CORANTIOQUIA, Regional Corporation of Córdoba, Regional Corporation of Sucre – CARSUCRE and the Regional Corporation of Bolívar. In the Valle del Cauca department, the regional government and the Regional Corporation of Valle del Cauca –CVC, are responsible for the execution of policies, plans, programmes, and projects for the compliance and application of regulations, guidelines and regimes issued by the MAVDT in relation to renewable natural resource management and use. As a response to all guidelines issued by the MAVDT, the Government of Valle del Cauca has formulated the following plans: Plan for the development of the Valle del Cauca



department 2008-2011 (Gobernación del Valle del Cauca, 2008) with the motto “good Government, we will make it for sure”, which is oriented towards the formulation and execution of programmes related to the wellbeing, social development and environmental management. The Water and Sanitation Departmental Plan is presently under execution by Cinara Institute, from Universidad del Valle. In response to MAVDT guidelines, CVC has developed the following plans: Plan for environmental management in the Valle del Cauca Region 2002-2012 (CVC et al., 2004), with the objective of orienting, focusing and integrating all actions by the social stakeholders in Valle del Cauca through environmental management that guarantees the sustainability development process in the region; the Triennial Action Plan 2007-2009 (CVC, 2007), has the objective of building environmental sustainability of the territory of Valle del Cauca with the participation of social stakeholders through the acknowledgment and integration of natural resources and the environment as a fundamental part of regional development; Basin Development and Management Plans in response to Decree 1729 dated 2002, which establishes the Basin Management and Development (POMCAs). CVC also formulated Agreement 014 of 1976 standardizing contamination control in the Cauca River, which is still in effect. Resolution 0686 dated November 20, 2006, establishes the quality objectives and proposes contamination reduction in the Cauca River Basin for the period 2007 – 2016 according to the Political Constitution of Colombia, Law 99 of 1993, Decree 3100 of 2003 partially modified by Decree 3440 of 2004 and Resolution 1433 of 2004 modified by Resolution 2145 of 2005. At the regional level, there also is the Agreement for the recovery of the Cauca River 2001, signed by the Ministry of the Environment, Regional Corporations (CVC, CORANTIOQUIA CARDER, CORNARE, CORPOCALDAS, CORMAGDALENA, CORTOLIMA, CRC, CRQ), the governments of the Valle del Cauca department and the municipality of Cali. The main goal is to formulate a plan for the integrated management of the Cauca River basin, “Plan for the integrated management of the Cauca River basin-2005”. It establishes the strategies and measures to be followed by all stakeholders, to protect, recover, conserve and manage the Cauca River in a sustainable way; Agreement: “Natural Reasons for the Recovery of the Cauca River – 2008”, which seeks the largest amount of partners to be able to achieve effective results to help save the Cauca River. 44..22..33 Local level The municipalities must promote and carry on national policies and programmes. Law 715-2001 established that the municipalities must finance in a direct or indirect manner, all projects related with public service infrastructure, flood prevention, river decontamination, technical assistance to the agriculture sector, protection of the environment, adequate use of water bodies, social participation promotion in the decision making for the delivery of services. Within the institutional structure of the city of Cali, there are several entities, that in spite of not being directly responsible for environmental and natural resource management, they do have direct relationship and impact on it. These entities are: the Municipal Council, the



Administrative Municipal Planning Department (DAMP), the Administrative Municipal Department of Finance, the Administrative Department for the Management of the Environment “DAGMA”, the Education Secretariat, the Public Health Secretariat, the Sanitation Management Unit – UES, the Secretariat of Territorial Development and Social Wellbeing, the Secretariat of Social Housing, the Secretariat of Culture and Tourism, the Secretariat of Government, Cohabitation and Security, the Municipal Comptroller Office and the Legal Capacity Municipal Office (Personería Municipal). The entities that are directly related to the establishment of policies and the coordination of the formulation and definition of plans that match the Learning Alliances topics described in Chapter 3, are: Administrative Municipal Planning Department: is in charge of articulating short, medium and long term policies with other entities to achieve physical, social, economic, environmental and municipal administrative development. This entity coordinates the formulation and definition of the Plan for the Development of the Cali Area 2008 – 2011 (Alcaldía de Santiago de Cali, 2008) “To Live with Dignity”, which is oriented towards the formulation and implementation of macro projects related with the wellbeing and the social, environmental, and economic development of the city; The objective of the Territorial Management Plan (POT) is the management of physical-spatial and socio-functional aspects of the city; Action Plans such as the Master Plan for Cali 2000-2020, which in the environmental field is in charge of defining soil uses, protected areas, risk areas, population growth and the use of natural resources of the city. Administrative Department for the Management of the Environment (DAGMA): it is the local environmental authority whose mission is to strive for the sustainable development of the environment within the legal framework and policies set by the MAVDT DAGMA, in order to comply and apply national regulations, guidelines and policies, has formulated the following resolutions and plans, among others, related to the Learning Alliances topics: Plan for Solid Waste Management in Cali-PGIRS 2004-2019 (Alcaldía de Santiago de Cali, 2004), whose mission is to establish solid waste integrated management involving all aspects from its production until its final disposal; the Environmental Management Plan for the Municipality of Cali 2005 – 2019 (DAGMA et al, 2005), which has the objective of proposing elements to orient the institucional, environmental and social management searching for an ever growing human development in the city of Cali and contributing to the achievement of sustainable development; formulation of Resolution 376 of December, 2006, which establishes water quality objectives in the urban area of Cali for the period 2007 – 2017; the Municipal Environmental Management System (SIGAM) in charge of establishing environmental profiles and defining roles and responsibilities for the control and management of the environment in Cali. Empresas Municipales de Cali EICE ESP – EMCALI: it contributes to the wellbeing and development of the community, guaranteeing economic conditions through the delivery of essential public services such as drinking water and sewage services. EMCALI formulated its Plan for Sanitation and Management of Wastewater Discharges (PSMV) 2007 -2016 (EMCALI, 2007) following the policy guidelines established by CONPES 3177 of 2002 and following Resolution 1433-2004 regulating Article 12 of



Decree 3100-2003 having the objective of reducing the contaminating load for the users and sewage service providers, and Resolution 376-2006 established by DAGMA. EMCALI has hired different studies that have been used as tools for the formulation of its PSMV. Some of these studies are: Alternative Equipment Study of the Water Supply, Sewage and Complementary Sewage

Public Services in the Expansion Southern Zone of Cali called the “Cali-Jamundí Corridor” (EMCALI and Hidroccidente, 2006).

Evaluation of Wastewater Management Strategies in the City of Cali – Zoom Emcali

(Universidad del Valle and Cinara, 2006). Consulting work to establish the strategies and develop the designs for the required

hydraulic structures in order to decrease the contamination impact on the Southern Drainage System for water captured at the Puerto Mallarino and Río Cauca Plants (EMCALI - MANOV, 2006).

Integrated Urban Wastewater System Data Network (Universidad del Valle - Cinara, 2007).

EMCALI internally defines technical standards and resolutions for the design, maintenance, provision of service and users’ obligations in terms of water supply and sewage services. These standards and resolutions have the objective of establishing the guidelines to respond to the demands of national, regional, and local institutions in charge of defining the standards to be followed. The following technical standards and resolutions may be highlighted:

Technical Standards for the Design and Construction of Water Supply and Sewage

Systems, which establish criteria, set requirements and basic conditions and reference trials to be made in order to carry out studies or infrastructure construction of public water supply and sewage services. These standards are aimed at consulting firms, construction contractors, professionals and the general public.

Resolution G.G. # 000156 dated January 31, 2001 adopts Internal Regulations for the

Provisions for Public Water Supply and Sewage Services. Solid Waste Municipal Company, EMSIRVA: Its mission is to guarantee optimum solid waste integrated management, ensuring social and economic benefits for the community, permanent organisational development of the company, educational campaigns promoting environmental protection and continuous improvement in the quality of service provision and relations with the users. Emsirva, in response to Decree 1713 of 2002 regulating Law 142 de 1994, Law 632 of 2000 and Law 689 of 2001, regulating sanitation public service, and Decree Law 2811 of 1974 and Law 99 of 1993, regulating Solid Waste Integrated Management, has different programmes in execution, such as:



The closure of the waste disposal site, the Navarro dump, which includes leachates treatment and management.

Education campaigns at community, enterprises and health entities’ levels.

Bid for the design of Cali’s new sanitation landfill located in the municipality of Yotoco.



5 PLANS, PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS RELATED WITH THE LEARNING ALLIANCES

5.1 LEARNING ALLIANCES VISION Taking into account the different problems encountered by each of the Learning Alliances development topics during the May 14, 2008 workshop, Alliance members applied the vision planning methodology based on the “Visioning” of scenarios. As a result of this work, Cali’s general vision was created, as well as the 2040 visions for each of the Learning Alliances topics, identifying key factors necessary to reach the vision in terms of its importance and degree of uncertainty. Scenarios, strategies and activities to provide problem solutions to specific topics were developed. The city’s general vision considered the participation of the different stakeholders involved directly or indirectly in urban water management and described it as follows: “Cali will apply IWRM with the participation of all its stakeholders”. The 2040 visions for each Learning Alliance are shown in Table 5.1

Table 5.1 2040 Vision for each of the 3 Learning Alliances of Cali, a demo city Alliance Vision

Water quality of the Cauca River and its impact on the water supply system of Cali

The Cauca River permanently compiles with water quality requirements in order to be used as a water source for the city of Cali.

The drainage system for Southern Cali

Water bodies and channels in the South Drainage System of Cali are recovered in terms of environment and landscape. Water quality is adequate for drinking water, and there are no floods.

The planned expansion area in the South of Cali and the possibility of including innovative strategies

The expansion area of Cali has utilities available (i.e. water supply, sanitation, and drainage) based on an intraresidential and internal infrastructure, which is environmentally sustainable and in harmony with the landscape setting and forest and lagoon reservation areas

One of the key factors to meet the vision that is common for the three Alliances and was identified during the scenario building made during the May 14, 2008 workshop, corresponded to the “interinstitutional and intersectorial work with leadership, and efficient use of available resources”. As an initial strategy to approach this factor, the need to make a revision of the plans, programmes and projects developed by the institutions to identify the existing synergies, gaps, and conflicts and the team work opportunities with the Learning Alliances was established. 5.2 DATA COLLECTION Data collection started with the identification of projects and institutions that are developing or have developed studies in each of the defined zones of the three Learning Alliances: The water quality of the Cauca River, the drainage system for the Southern Cali



and the planned expansion area in the South of Cali. This identification was partially done during the October 4, 2007 Workshop and then, during 2008, a research process was made to identify and collect the plans, programmes and projects developed or to be developed in the Learning Alliances influence areas. Annex 2 shows the inventory of projects identified in the mentioned Workshop. A preliminary selection of the plans, programmes and projects considered important for the three Learning Alliances study zone was made. After, an inventory of available and missing information was performed. The main sources of information identified were: Government of Valle del Cauca, Government of the Municipality, CVC, DAGMA, Universidad del Valle - Instituto Cinara, EMCALI, Hidrooccidente and COMFANDI. A request for missing data was made through correspondence and emails to institutions and through conversations with the Learning Alliances members, as well as Internet searches and downloads. In spite of this, some data still could not be collected. Following are the main limitations found in collecting the information: Information requested, but no response received Delay in information delivery Data confidentiality or limited use Incomplete data Unknown additional information. Unclear information sources and contacts

Nineteen (19) documents were compiled and classified as follows: 3 regional plans, 4 local plans and 12 projects. Tables 5.2 and 5.3 respectively show a chronological list of plans and projects revised within the Learning Alliances framework.

5.3 ANALYSIS METHODOLOGICAL Once the available information on plans, programmes and projects was available, the classification of documents was done according to the type of document. Three main categories were found: regional and local plans (the programmes were included in this category); projects and proposals. Based on this information, a tag containing the main analysis criteria was made for each plan: Name of the plan Institution leading the plan Period (of validity or implementation) Area of influence of the plan Conceptual base Vision and mission(in some cases) General objective Specific objectives Products or goals to be reached Economic aspects

Annex 3 shows the summary tag for each plan. Additionally, Annex 4 shows the programmes, goals and projects related with the Learning Alliances included in these plans. For the projects in which it was not possible to make the tag because some documents are incomplete or are in formulation process, a profile or proposal brief description was presented. Project information is included as part of the development of Chapter 6, where the developed projects and proposals of the Learning Alliances are described. Meetings were held for the analysis of documents with some of the Learning Alliances members. Additionally, several workshops were scheduled for the socialisation and discussion of documents within the Universidad del Valle work group. The analysis included: a) Identification of the activities included in the Cali Learning Alliances plans. b) Comparative analysis of plans. c) Comparative analysis of projects. d) Identification of synergies, gaps and conflicts. Synergies were analyzed from the perspective of existing affinity between the plans written documents, having in mind the objectives, activities and goals to be achieved that favor the mutual compliance and the opportunities to be integrated and harmonised to increase the interinstitutional and intersectorial cooperation and coordination. Conflicts occur when two or more values, perspectives or opinions are naturally contradictory or cannot be reconciled. Conflict can also be defined as the follow-up of incompatible objectives by different persons or groups. In the case of the analysis of plans,



programmes and projects, the conflicts refer to objectives, activities and goals that are in disagreement and may be counterproductive in their conceptualisation and implementation, generating differences among the executing institutions. Gaps refer to the lack or absence of key aspects required to meet objectives or goals. These gaps can become synergy opportunities among the Learning Alliances institutions. 5.4 IDENTIFICATION OF SYNERGIES, GAPS AND CONFLICTS AMONG

LOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANS 55..44..11 Synergies among plans The following synergies correspond to common topics found in the written documents of the revised plans. It is important to have in mind that these plans are independently proposed. For this reason, the common topics identified, more than a synergy, are an opportunity to build synergies to achieve interinstitutional work. Annex 5 shows a comparative matrix built as the foundation for the identification of synergies, conflicts and gaps of the different plans. Following are the main synergies found in the plans: In the proposal: Plan developments include broad diagnosis of the situation in the study area in terms of development and problems encountered. In cases such as the PGAR’s, 13 priority environmental situations taken from the PAT proposal were diagnosed. The formulation of plans introduces a broad conceptual base. Out of the 7 plans revised, it can be established that the main basic principles considered in their conceptual base are: Environmental Sustainability (15%), Cleaner Production (15%) and Citizen Participation (14%), as shown in Figure 5.1.

Prioritisation of water and sanitation investments is a priority in the Departmental Development Plan. Not all plans develop a vision. However, the revised plans consider that the proposed actions of each plan contribute in benefitting the community. In the validity terms In general, it is observed that the revised plans are proposed for periods longer than 3 years. Defining as short term a period of time between 0 to 5 years, midterm between 5 and 10 years, and long term being periods longer than 10 years, most of the regional and local plans have short and medium term validities, with the exception of the PGAC, that has a 15 year validity. Table 5.4 shows the validity terms of the revised plans.

Municipal Development Plan (PDM) 3 In the objectives, goals and activities Most plans involve interinstitutional work as an important planning strategy to guarantee a project’s sustainability. The plans also emphasize community participation and work to reach the proposed plan objectives. Basin management is a constant activity that has been introduced in the development of plans since 2007, starting with the POT, until the municipal and regional development plans proposed and approved until 2008. Other common activities that are important for the plan objectives and activities are: Decontamination of the wetlands in the city of Cali. Increase in the sewage system service coverage of the urban sectors of the Valle del

Cauca municipalities. Decrease in the contaminant load poured into the Cauca River as it crosses the Valle del

Cauca department. The PDD highlights the importance of prioritizing investments made in the water and sanitation sectors in order to develop the Water Departmental Plan (complying with CONPES 3383 of 2005 provision) and as a strategy to accelerate the growth of service coverage and quality.



This option turns into an opportunity for the development of teamwork among institutions trying to reach visions proposed by the Learning Alliances. Only two plans (PSMV and PAT) consider the use of modern hydro-informatics tools and measuring gauges with information in real time. This would allow having timely access to information and improve decision making. 55..44..22 Conflicts among plans Plan Structure Differences can be observed in the structure of the proposed plans. This situation impairs plan interpretation and the articulation may have a high level of complexity. Table 5.5 shows the structure of the revised regional plans and Table 5.6 the structure of some revised local plans.

Considering that at the regional level, the instruments determining political, legal and regulatory frameworks for the Triennial Action Plan (PAT) 2007 - 2009, are the Departmental Development Plan 2004 – 2007, Plan for the Development of Cali and the Regional Plan for the Management of the Environment in the Valle del Cauca department 2002 – 2012 (CVC and Universidad del Valle, 2004), it is noticeable that the structure for the PAT proposal does not coincide with the regulatory plan structure. Plan articulation becomes difficult. These differences are also seen in the Municipal and Regional Development Plan proposals whenever the Municipal Development Plans are not within the Departmental Development Plan framework, in spite of having the same implementation dates.



In the proposal The plans show in detail the need to form alliances in order to have inter-institutional work to strengthen reaching the goals, with the participation of the different stakeholders and sectors. However, in the development process it is not possible to visualize articulation between the plans, programmes and projects at regional and local levels for the construction of a joint future vision of Cali. Not having a defined vision and mission becomes more critical in cases such as the PGAC, in spite of being a long term plan (2005 - 2019). In the time of validity. Some of the proposed plan activities have synergies and share common objectives and goals. However, conflicts generate during the initial and completion activity periods, considering the plan validity periods that in most cases are short and middle term plans. Use of innovative technologies The goal is to have sustainable water management. However, the solutions proposed in the regional plans are oriented towards the end of the pipe, as an alternative for wastewater management in the region. This contradicts the desired change of paradigm in urban wastewater management. Water conservation and efficient use are priority topics. However, its planning, especially in the Cali expansion area, is done under the traditional scheme in which the water forecast calculation is done using high usage amounts, without considering possible consumption reductions in the future. In the objectives, goals and activities Since water management is made by sectors, without considering the watershed as a work unit, there are conflicts between the proposed goals and the environmental authorities, DAGMA and CVC. Some of the goals proposed by the environmental authorities contradict the goals and activities developed by the institutions, as well as the financial capacity to reach such objectives. This also occurs with the existing goals: The POT considers the Southern WwTP and the WwTP-C expansion among its plans.

However, according to the PSMV, this is not possible within the validity term of the plan due to lack of resources.

The POT states reaching the goals of contaminant load remotion indexes from 80% SST and 85% BOD, which is contrary to EMCALI’s reachable goals proposal for the next 10 years.



55..44..33 Gaps among plans In the Structure and Development In spite of having a clear diagnosis of the situation, there are no clear strategies that allow considering effective direct solutions over the following topics: Citizenship participation mechanisms. Control of sub-normal settlements. Inter-institutional participation. Cleaner Production. Efficient water use.

Plan development does not introduce basic and important concepts for long term planning for wastewater integrated management, such as: Water reuse, technology selection, and urban wastewater integrated management. Plan development does not show the inter-institutional work. Each individual tries to propose local solutions, according to their capabilities. The actual structure in which the plans are developed does not allow for their articulation. The baseline is not the same (See Tables 5.5 and 5.6). The regional plans are not developed or considered in the local plans. In the objectives, goals and activities Although the plans consider cleaner production, efficient use of water and citizenship participation among the basic principles, the activities and strategies do not reflect an effective implementation. There is gap evidence in the inter-institutional work. There is not a clear articulation over the proposed goals between the plans and the stakeholder institutions. Several institutions propose similar topics, such as basin development. However, this activity is still pending, in spite of having been proposed since 2000. Results by sectors of the results of the monitoring, surveillance and control of the water basins are not complementary between the different institutions responsible of this activity. An effective follow up of the plans proposed or directed by the municipal administration is not done (for example: PGAC, POT) due to the following reasons: Lack of institutional data retention Frequent personnel and administrative changes with each new administration.

In the specific case of POT, the existing gaps are: Strategies, goals or dates for compliance with the projects of the Plan are not presented.



Most of the projects proposed in the POT since 2000 have not been totally executed. Following are some examples of projects and their execution dates. It is observed that the validity time of some projects has already expired: - Development of basins of the rivers of Cali (2001-2006) - Implementation of the Cali Wetlands Recovery Plan (2001-2009) - Proposal for Water Conservation and Efficient Use Plan (2001-2006) - Operation and Maintenance of the Water Network of Cali (2001-2009) - Sewage Planning and Control (2001-2009)

The PGAC does not formulate activities, goals, indictors and alignments for the development and implementation of projects. In other words, it does not specify which would be the activities to be developed. For example, one of the possible projects corresponds to a general topic such as “Urban Drainage”. Additionally, the PGAC has the following gaps: DAGMA does not have information about the plan’s progress or the projects that have

been developed and executed according to the plan proposal. The Plan does not define the activities of the possible proposed plans. However, they

show exact budget values for each programme. The goals and possible proposed projects are coherent with the objectives presented in

the plan. However, they have been proposed in a very general manner, and it is not possible to identify the activities necessary to reach the objectives.

The Plan defines strategic lines, programmes and possible projects through which the goals may be reached.

In the case of the PDD, it considers environmental problems identified by the PGAR, however, it does not offer specific programmes for some of the identified problems: human settlements in areas of risk, unplanned urban expansion, public space deficit, and poor quality of the public space. Use of Innovative Technologies Innovative strategies are not proposed to diminish the contaminant load spilled into the Cauca River. Instead, the solutions are aimed at the end of the pipe process. Only two of the plans (PAT and PSMV) consider the use of hydroinformatic and modern gauging instruments with information in real time, but they do not propose specific strategies and activities on that topic. Validity Time There is not a long term vision. Planning is related to municipal and regional administration changes. Some plans do not define the chronogram of proposed goals during the plan’s validity period.



5.5 ANALYSIS OF PROJECTS RELATED WITH THE LEARNING ALLIANCES A total of twelve projects were identified, 8 of which are specific for the Learning Alliance of the Southern Cali expansion zone, and 4 can be applied to the three Learning Alliances. Annex 6 shows a description of each Project (Project name, who proposes it, who executes it, execution period, area of influence) in chronological order (starting with the oldest project, until the most recent one), and also their respective objectives and in some cases, goals and a general comment. Most revised projects correspond to studies making an existing diagnosis of a problem existing in the project’s influence area. In some projects, such as the “Integrated Urban Wastewater System Data Network” and the “Evaluation of Strategies for the Management of Wastewater in Cali”, mathematical modeling is used as a tool to evaluate the impact of wastewater discharges of the city of Cali in the water quality of the Cauca River, and as support for the definition of future scenarios, in terms of decontamination of the river. These also introduce the real time control concept for the urban wastewater system for the formulation of an early warning system with regards to the water quality. The study by Hidrooccidente includes the collection, transportation and disposal of stormwater in the expansion zone of Cali towards the Southern Drainage System. This is coherent with the MANOV study proposal on the decontamination of the Southern Drainage System. The strategy is to only collect stormwater in this system. Projects developed in the Southern expansion zone are oriented to diagnose the existing situation and to propose alternatives for public service infrastructure planning and urbanising. Considering the relation between plans and projects, the creation of monitoring networks through interinstitutional integration is extremely important and would allow sharing of the required information by the different Learning Alliances members. Due to the fact that each of the projects is specific and for a sole topic, the analysis and comments are presented in an individual manner, as follows: Study, inventory and detailed characterisation of the wetlands of the ARDN This study includes a series of recommendations and proposals for new projects related to the diagnosis of the zone, the standardisation, and the actions to follow for resource conservation. These recommendations and new project proposals are in harmony with the plans proposed by the Cali and Valle del Cauca institutions. Among the recommendations are:



Execute an ARDN wetlands management plan for their protection and recovery that promotes the relationship of human beings with nature, and a habitat scenario for the flora and fauna. In this sense, the following operation objectives have been identified.

- Search jointly with the different local and regional stakeholders the sustainability of

these urban ecosystems with the participation of the community in the area of direct influence.

- Generate programmes, plans and projects oriented towards the management, restoration and rational use of the ARDN wetlands.

- Improve the relation between the citizenship and the environment, increasing community and institutional participation.

- Strengthen governmental and institutional presence in this scenario through the coordination and generation of projects that allow agreement between the different entities, as well as the generation of mechanisms for local, regional and national participation.

- Development of the wetlands as an urban environmental classroom where environmental education activities are promoted, in an experience-based process.

Develop the Environmental Management Plan proposal, setting priorities in the

regulation of areas to start the recovery of wetlands and to develop a landscaping proposal that integrates the other studies of the ARDN, and to consider the possibility of developing residential block units up to five stories high, optimizing the area suitable for urban developments.

Study of the environmental impact of the Navarro Dump on the Navarro Deferred Regime Area and the neighboring sectors of Meléndez, Ciudad 2000, Ciudad Córdoba, El Caney, Ciudadela Comfandi, the Juanambú and Encuentros Schools and the Cañasgordas Club. This study proposes an Environmental Management Plan as a tool to identify, plan, and quantify the preventive, control, mitigation, compensation or correcting measures to avoid, reduce, control or eliminate the impact generated by the Navarro Dump and temporary landfill over the ARDN. In this case, the main measures will be corrective because they deal with facts that have already occurred, and the preventive measures will be of big importance for the future development of the sanitation domiciliary public service system of Cali and, especially, for its Solid Waste Integrated Management Plan. The following projects are included in the Environmental Management Plan proposed in this study: Leachates treatment Leachate storage ponds closure plan Final coverage and re-vegetalisation of slopes in the basin. Gas evacuation. Stormwater management. Contamination decrease in meander waters.



Improvement and recovery of the flora Buffer tree strip and ecosystem around the solid waste disposal area and management of

the initiative to declare the buffer zone as a protected area. Recovery and reprogramming of land and aquatic fauna. Pest control design plan.

Study of flooding threat in the ARDN and its surroundings, analysing its vulnerability and the status of the existing mitigation works. This study focuses on the control of floods in the ARDN. With respect to the drainage system, considering the area may qualify in the future as an area apt for urban expansion, it mentions the necessity of the implementation of a flood regulating pond that could contribute as a rain water quality control measure, however, the impermeabilisation of 70% of the area is being considered. Study of equipment alternatives for the water supply, sewage and complementary sewage public services in the expansion zone in southern Cali called the “Cali-Jamundí” Corridor. This study relates high quality standards with more access to water. This study does not consider the efficient use of water policies or the education campaigns. In spite of the fact that EMCALI requested the evaluation of different types of sewage systems (individual, combined, non conventional), only the first two were evaluated. There is not a study of the evaluation of non conventional systems. The only alternatives studied where those related to the Southern-WwTP. Other alternatives or combinations for the WwTP were not studied. The removal of nutrients and disinfection were analyzed in the evaluation of costs, but the treatment objectives and potential uses were not clear or specific. Although EMCALI is presently facing the Southern Channel discharge and the stormwater first wash after a dry period associated with the generation of great SST, BOD and DQO peaks, in its study proposes only to continue with the stormwater disposal without any type of pretreatment done to the channel, thus increasing the problem that EMCALI is presently trying to solve in terms of water quality and the risk in water supply from the Puerto Mallarino and Rio Cauca plants. Evaluation of strategies for wastewater management in Cali Innovative technologies, such as the use of modeling tools to contribute in decision making processes and the planning of wastewater management, are used. Additionally, different scenarios are proposed with the EMCALI’s strategies for the integrated management of discharges in Cali.



Some of the results of this project were applied in the Plan for Sanitation and Management of Wastewater Discharges (PSMV) proposed by EMCALI to respond to DAGMA and CVC, the environmental authorities. Consultancy to establish the strategies and develop the required hydraulic structures designs to decrease the contamination impact of the South Drainage System in water captured for the Puerto Mallarino and Rio Cauca plants. These are the comments about this study: Short term solutions. However, these are necessary to construct a long term solution. A good diagnosis of the existing problems is made, identifying each of the stakeholders

involved in the wastewater problem in the South Drainage System. The study makes an analysis of the impact and risk associated with each of the

problems. Recommendations to carry out educative campaigns in order to guarantee the

sustainability of the proposed solutions. There are no innovative solutions included as part of the possible solutions.

Bochalema and Las Vegas of COMFANDI partial plans With respect to public services provision, both plans follow the pre-feasibility study presented by EMCALI, oriented towards the extensión of the aqueduct pipelines. In terms of wastewater transportation and disposal, the Bochalema Plan considers the delivery of its waters into the collectors that would pump the waters to the Navarro wastewater pumping station (EBAN) and later to the WwTP-C (Wastewater Treatment Plant) while the possibility of implementation of a WwTP in Las Vegas of COMFANDI is being considered. No IWRM is noticed in the plans. As to urban development, these plans offer conventional designs and alternatives. Technical, economic and financial pre-feasibility study for the provision of water supply, sewage and complementarey sewage services for the ARDN Both EMCALI, the service provider, and the Consulting firm handle water management in a sectorial manner, analyzing the following in an isolated manner: Supply Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Stormwater. Collection, Transportation, Treatment and Disposal of Wastewater.

Efficient use of water strategies is not observed. Likewise, the social aspects and environmental impacts were not evaluated in a quantitative manner that allows making a comparison of the negative effects on the water bodies, the



soil or the air for each of the alternatives, or the repercussions generated with respect to potential uses. The contamination control strategies of the study are oriented towards the treatment in plant. There are no minimisation or prevention strategies, or cleaner production strategies which would create a conflict with the conceptual framework and the plan objectives that are developed at local and regional levels for the environmental authorities. This aspect is considered for domestic wastewater as well as stormwater, since the latter is directly discharged into the water bodies of the zone. Integrated Urban Wastewater System Data Network The existing opportunities to share information generated by the different institutions (CVC, IDEAM, EMCALI) that monitor the wastewater management system in Cali and the Cauca River were identified. The opportunities for the use of innovative technologies through monitoring and operation of the sewage system in real time were also identified. Additionally, a preliminary proposal was developed for the implementation of an early warning network in the South Drainage System and the Cauca River. This will contribute in minimizing the impact in the purification processes caused by the wastewater disposal through the South Channel. “Urban Plan of Comuna 22” Study Project Considering there is a diagnosis document available that establishes actual problems, this Project shows characteristics similar to those found in the diagnosis documents of the institutions. The forest deterioration in the basins of the Lili, Cañaveralejo and Melendez rivers is mentioned and how it affects the water retention capacity and generates occasional river floods. The weakness of government organisations in remaining relatively stable and having clear standards to eliminate the uncertainty of real estate promoters or subjective interpretations of the standands is noticed in this project. However, this is also articulated in compliance with other standards, such as environmental. There is a lack of coordination between institutions. A good example of that is the difficulty in role assigning for the managment of stormwaters, where the responsibility is shared by EMCALI, the entity that collects water from the constructions that have to connect to the rainfall sewage network (non-existing in the neighborhood), and DAGMA, the entity in charge of natural washoff waters in the road channels. An integrated proposal in harmony with plans presented by the institutions is mentioned:



Scenario of a residential area with average density in terms of equipment and infrastrucre in agreement with its density.

Surpension of urban development and construction: scenario of a residential area with low density and recreative and educative elements.

Maintaining the actual process: scenario of a traditional urban area with mixed uses of water and heterogeneous structures.

Navarro Eco-City Macro Project This Macro-Project is in agreement with the conceptualisation of institution plans since it promotes urban development with environmental and social improvement in the zone. The public services infrastructure is based on the pre-feasibility study presented by EMCALI, which does not include IWRM issues. However, this proposal has been revaluated because the public services company, according to the specifications required for the macroproject, has made a bid for the pre-feasibility study of water supply and sanitation of the zone, including good use of water topics. 5.6 SOME CONSIDERATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Since 1991, the Colombian State made the commitment to provide the tools and

strategies necesarry to allow sustainable development. For decades Colombia has developed policies and standards focused towards the

recovery, conservation, protection, development, management, and use of natural resources. These policies and standards are the foundation upon which to establish adequate natural resource management.

In some aspects, the standard framework has been established decades before and is still

in effect. An example of this is the standard for the control of water resource contamination with Decree 1594, which was issued in the 80s.

Some policies and standards currently developed have not been articulated with the

previous ones. This generates incongruence due to the fact that the current standards do not suspend the validity of the previous one.

Plans are proposed to be executed in the short term. Generally, these periods of time

coincide with the administration term of the local and regional governments. This means that whenever there is a change of government every 4 years, the plan formulated by the previous administration and the plan of the starting administration are not articulated. This is reflected by the fact that none of the plans continue with activities initiated during the previous mandate. This generates a loss in credibility, efficiency, resources, etc.

Colombian standards have a reactive-corrective approach that has to change into a

proactive-preventive one focused on sustainability principles, with a more developed social dimension. This would contribute to achieving the three Learning Alliances visions described in Chapter 3. An example of the actual approach is shown in standards



for water resource contamination control, which has been designed with a “end of the pipe” approach. The objective of this standard is to mitigate the impact caused by wastewater discharges over the water bodies, and it does it through a control mechanism (Decree 1594 of 1984) and an economic instrument (Decreto 3100 of 2003).

The institutional framework of the water and sanitation sector that regulates the national

territory, including Cali, causes the institutions to propose plans that do not represent any type of action over the river basins in an integrated manner due to the fact that the jurisdiction areas have been set considering the political and administrative borders, and not the basin, without considering that the water resource contamination exceeds the municipal limits.

At national, regional and local levels the different policies, standards, plans, programmes

and projects consider concepts such as the efficient use of water , the reuse, cleaner production, self-purification of the receptor bodies, among others, as part of the strategies to reach sustainable development. However, in practice, these strategies are not implemented, and there is no evidence of progress in this sense. On the contrary, the environmental deterioration is increasing, and the required solutions are becoming more complex.

The prioritisation concept for wastewater management is considered in national, regional

and local policies; however, priorities are aimed at the design and construction of treatment plants. An example of this is PMAR, whose strategy and action plan for wastewater management and development is to set priorities in terms of the selection of municipalities where the water treatment system has to be design and implemented. These strategies do not allow achieving the vision of each of the Learning Alliances.

As to the urban development policies, it is important to start promoting programmes

within the institutions that provide a solid articulation among the aspects having an impact on territorial development, and that these have a long term integrated vision so that even in spite of government mandate changes, work may continue towards the same objectives, with a true city vision.

The importance of plans, programmes, and projects implementing strategies for the

application of concepts, apart from considering concepts such as environmental sustainability and IWRM, becomes visible.

Presently there are important standard developments that have allowed reaching some

water decontamination goals. However, with the above commented observations, the need of making a revision to existing regulations is perceived and to be done in a manner that coherently articulates the plans, programmes and projects developed by each institution in order to focus efforts of the different institutions towards a common objective.

This shows the need to implement not only clear policies, but also a standardisation that

allows the definition of environmental and urban standards that are consistent with sustainability principles, water resources integrated management and quality of life.



6 PROJECTS AND PROPOSALS IN THE LEARNING ALLIANCES CONTEXT 6.1 INVENTORY Having in mind the activities done for the consolidation of the Learning Alliances, such as interviews, workshops, revisión of plans and projects of the institutions and the construction of scenarios, projects have been proposed (presently contracted) and some are in their management process (See Table 6.1). These projects and proposals are developed within the Learning Alliances framework in order to respond to the need of generating a better life within a sustainability framework in terms of IWRM.

6.2 PROJECTS 66..22..11 Sentinel of the Quality of the Cauca River Water for the City of Cali The objective of this Project is to develop a preliminary early warning system and control strategies to help mitigate the contamination effects of the Cauca River drinking water treatment plants and the computerised prototype application for an early warning system at the Puerto Mallarino Plant. This Project is financed by EMCALI and Universidad del Valle, with the participation of other institutions, such as IDEAM, DAGMA, CVC, etc. The execution period for the Project will be 9 months, starting in January, 2009. The expected results of the Project will include: Basic transportation model of the Cauca River contamination plume caused by the

Southern Channel discharge. Analysis of the response time to critical events, based on water quality measured at the

Milan station and the water characteristics of the Cauca River. Prototype of the “Cauca River Sentinel” water quality alert system. Three people trained to operate the basic aspects of the computerised application.

66..22..22 Modelling the water quality and treatability of the reservoir projected for the

Puerto Mallarino Plant This project is proposed within the context of the project previously described in item 6.2.1 “Sentinel of the Quality of the Cauca River Water for the City of Cali”. The proposed work is focused on modeling of the water quality and understanding its behavior through time in order to identify the project and operation adjustment conditions of the treatment system due to alteration of water events on the quality of the Cauca River. Among the specific objectives are: Analyse the water quality dynamics in the reservoir in terms of physical-chemical and

biological variations. Simulate the behavior of the treatment processes, such as coagulation, flocculation, and

decanting of the treatment system existing in the Puerto Mallarino Plan, with water provided by the reservoir.

Provide recommendations for the operation and maintenance of the reservoir and the treatment system.

Following are the products or goals to be reached:



Modelling of the water quality (assembly and validation of the model, simulation of scenarios considering entry sites, in the reservoir and at the exit, simulation of scenarios considering the quality of water desired for the treatment processes in the Puerto Mallarino plant and a graphic representation of the dynamics of the water quality per parameter throughout the system.

Reservoir operation recommendations. Elaboration of final report and presentation made to a EMCALI on the results,

recommendations and conclusions. An original and two copies, including CD-ROM, with the results obtained in the model,

its analysis and recommendations. Report on affluent and effluent reservoir water quality according to follow up made to

the pilot reservoir and the quality model. Report on effluent water coagulation from the pilot reservoir and the real scale system

once it is built. Report on the most appropriate parameters for the operation of coagulation, flocculation

and sedimentation. Guidelines for the dosification of the coagulant (aluminum sulphate and iron chloride)

and the recomended adjustments. 6.3 PROPOSALS 66..33..11 Integrated Water Use at Universidad del Valle. A development and

demonstration project The general objective of this project is to formulate an integrated programme for the Efficient Use of Water at Universidad del Valle in order to contribute to the economic and environmental sustainability of water and sanitation. This project is led by the Cinara Institute of the Universidad del Valle. The specific objectives of this Project are: Develop two team learning and demonstration (PADs) projects for the efficient use of

water in a new and an old building to provide feedback on work methodology of the Integrated Efficient Use of Water Programme.

Promote integrated research and development activities through undergraduate and post graduate work related with the efficient use of water in order to promote technological innovation, such as dry urinals, water recirculation, use of stormwater, natural wastewater treatment methods (wetlands and planters) and the ornamental use of rain water.

Design and apply education, communication, sensitizing and appropriation processes in the university community in order to promote changes and care in the use and conservation of water.



Design the Efficient Water Use Programme for the Universidad del Valle introducing concepts such as reduction of water consumption, use of other sources, quality usage, re-use of water, and reduction in the generation of wastewater, having in mind the experiences and results of the above mentioned objectives.

The results of this project include: Two team learning and demonstration projects designed and executed for the efficient

use of water in the buildings, with an integrated approach. Technical construction specifications for solutions proposed in the Learning and

Demonstration Projects (PADs). Estimate of work and budget required for the two PADs. Support the PADs construction process. Three undergraduate and postgraduate works developed according to Univalle’s efficient

water use requirements of Universidad del Valle. Education programme designed for the efficient use of water at Universidad del Valle,

which includes radio and multimedia campaigns, five campaigns in printed media, 5 bulletins, 4 one-day training workshops, and a data base to feed the information system of Universidad del Valle (web and intranet pages).

Four Efficient Water Use Programme participative workshops at Universidad del Valle. A programme for the efficient use of water designed for its application at Universidad

del Valle, based on processes used in the 2 PADs. 66..33..22 Cali, City of water This is DAGMA’s proposal, which is formed by three work groups in charge of a specific activity: first, the diagnoses and characterisation, second, education and advertising, and third, the participative construction of a water policies draft. 66..33..33 Efficient use of water programme (DAGMA) Considering the existing problem associated to water scarsity both in terms of quantity and quality, and in order to guarantee sustainable supply for the city of Cali, it is important to generate an integrated valuation of water as an irreplaceable need and a human right, promoting responsibility of the users with respect to the use, conservation and care of water resources. The efficient use of water is a relevant topic for the service providing company and for the environmental authorities. Therefore, it is important to execute a programme on the efficient use of water. This programme would be directed to the people of Cali and the urban area industries as a strategy to minimize and prevent problems, in benefit of users because the service costs would be reduced.



This is a programme that demands articulation between the public service company and the local and regional environmental authorities, responding to compliance of actions for the conservation and protection of water. 66..33..44 Wastewater management of the South Channel This proposal was conceived by Dr. Douglas Laing, PhD Biology. The purpose of his proposal is to facilitate recovery of the channels in the system and contribute to decreasing the impact on the Cauca River, which is the main source of water supply to Cali. This proposal considers the separation of waste and stormwaters, the recovery and maintenance of the stormwater channels and the management of agricultural land located on the right margin of the Cauca River, for the implementation of biological wastewater treatment in ponds and surface flow wetlands that work with native species forests. In light of the above mentioned considerations, this proposal would be completed in the seven following stages: 1. Collecting and using gravity (where possible) to carry wastewater from Cali’s Southern

area to Stage 4. 2. Control gates and final sand trap at the mouth of the South channel for wastewater in

the last stretch (after the highway). 3. Pumping wastewater from the last stretch of the South Channel through the Cauca

River to the anaerobic ponds in Stage 4. 4. Primary treatment in anaerobic ponds. 5. Secondary treatment in constructed wetlands (FSHL-type). 6. Tertiary treatment in polishing ponds. 7. Use of treated water for irrigation purposes and/or for returning into the river. 66..33..55 Development of a methodology with economic efficiency criteria and

implementation of support tools for decision making on water resource planning in the water basins of Colombia - La Vieja River pilot basin application.

The objective of this project is to develop a methodology for the planning and integrated management of water resources at basin level that can be used as support for decision-making by environmental authorities and the general public through the implementation of tools and instruments to properly regulate and efficiently plan water resource management in Colombia. This methodology must integrate water resource quantity and quality aspects, including economic aspects necessary to comply with the quality objectives at the lowest possible cost and considering space-time variations of surface waters in the water basins. Make the analysis of the technical-economic viability of water quality objectives and treatment proposed by the joint committee of the La Vieja River Pilot Basin through the



usage of the Decision Making Support System (SSD) that is most appropriate for the regional conditions. This committee is formed by the Corporación Autónoma Regional del Quindío (CRQ), the Corporación Autónoma Regional de Risaralda (CARDER), and the Corporación Autónoma Regional del Valle del Cauca (CVC), under a Learning Alliance made with three of the public universities in the region: Universidad del Quindío (UQ), Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira (UTP), and Universidad del Valle (UV), as well as two international consultants from UNESCO-IHE from the Netherlands, and the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV), from Spain. This proposal was presented to Colciencias. The project’s execution time will be 20 months, starting in April, 2009. The expected results are as follows: Develop a methodology and implement tools to support decisions for economically

efficient water resource planning in Colombian water basins. Implement the methodology proposed for the pilot study in the La Vieja river basin.

Create a research network and a Learning Alliance with the participation of the three public universities (UQ, UTP and UV) and the regional environmental authorities.

Make a guide document for the selection and categorisation of the different water resource management models according to existing information, stating its application advantages and disadvantages, data requirements, etc.

Consolidate a water sanitation and contamination control measures catalog for the water basin.

Recommend guidelines to set quality objectives and sanitation scenarios for the water basins. Pilot study application according to La Vieja River basin joint committee, based on technical and economic viability.

Knowledge transfer of the Decision Making Support System (SSD) and Economic Tools for integrated water management in the basins of Colombia, through two articles appearing in indexed publications.

Implementation of projects developed in two M.Sc. theses and two undergraduate theses.

Hold an International Seminar on methodologies and tools for integrated water resource management.



7 FINAL CONSIDERATIONS In Colombia there are presently important political and standardisation developments at national, regional and local levels, which have allowed the proposal of certain goals related to natural resource conservation. However, in some cases these standards and policies are outdated and do not articulate with concepts such as IWRM, governance, reuse, environmental sustainability, etc. The present policies and standards include the previously mentioned concepts in order to reach sustainable development. However, in practice, these strategies are not implemented, and this can be noticed by the growing environmental impairment in Cali. One of the weaknesses of the policies and standards is the lack of coordination and action of the MAVDT with other Ministries such as the Social Protection Ministry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, to structure a policy that guarantees the long term protection, conservation, recovery and management of water resources. The need of reevaluating policies and standards with applicable concepts and strategies aiming at real sustainable development is reflected when comparing the vision for each of the Learning Alliances versus the national Colombian policies and standards. This was a commitment made by the Colombian State with the Colombian citizens since 1991, with the new Political Constitution of Colombia. One of the limiting factors for the formulation and implementation of the different plans for activities related to wastewater management is related to the sectorisation of the competencies of the institutions or stakeholders of the local or regional problem. Two other factors have to be added: institutional weakness in setting environmental quality objectives and goals, and carrying out control and follow up programmes. Likewise, goals are not quantifiable and reachable. There is lack of existing and available information. The environmental obligations are not known by the individuals and territorial entities. There is a lack of financial resources, duplicity of efforts and low management capacity, as well as lack of continuity in plan development. Additionally, there are differences in the chronology proposed for the different plans. This is due to circumstantial situations related to political schemes, whether they are local in terms of their standarised expedition, or national standards. The revised plans and programmes emphasize goals in terms of management of forest reserves, wetlands, river basins, water quality, solid waste, etc. However, results are even more insufficient when considering the requirement of diminishing environmental impact. The plans do not include or promote the initiative of using innovative IWRM technologies. There is wide interest in knowing and implementing innovative strategies forr which is necessary to invest in consultancy and research work that will allow the identification of economic, social and environmental benefits.



A series of ideas and projects contributing to compliance with the objectives emerge from the activities proposed at a general level oriented towards the solution of water resource environmental problems included in the plans of the sector institutions.

Box A.1-1. Workshops held in 2007. Workshop 1. April 13, 2007. “Water Resources Integrated Management in the Cauca River Basin” The objective of this first workshop was to establish the Learning Alliance formed by the different stakeholders involved in water management in the valley of the Cauca River Basin where Cali is located. The socialisation of the SWITCH Project took place during this event. Opportunities were identified for inter-institutional work regarding the IWRM in the valley of the Cauca River Basin and the priority areas in order to direct the research within the two mentioned projects. Attended this workshop 50 people representing 27 institutions. Workshop 2. October 4, 2007. “Water Resources Integrated Management in the city of Cali: An Opportunity to Work as a Team in the Search for Sustainable Solutions” The objective of this workshop was to resume the inventory of main problems related with water management in Cali, establishing their priorities and evaluating the possible synergies of projects being executed or planned by institutions involved in the topic. As a result of the workshop, three main work topics within the framework of alliances related with water management in Cali were defined: 1. The water quality of the Cauca River and its impact on the water supply system for Cali 2. The South Drainage System of the city of Cali 3. The possibility of changing the paradigm in water and sanitation services in the future

General Objective: Present alternatives for water supply, collection, transportation, disposal of stormwater and wastewater, and wastewater treatment for the expansion zone of Cali, the “Cali-Jamundí Corridor”. Select the best alternative for the provision of public services in the mentioned area, considering all economic, social and environmental aspects. General Comments Results of the pre-feasibility study made by the consulting company showed the following: Population density analysis and drinking water supply assumes between 200 and 340

L/hab*day, depending on the socio-economic stratum. The selected alternative for the aqueduct system is the extension of the South

transmission pipeline to supply, by gravity, 207 L/s and re-pump 303 L/s to two storage tanks in order to distribute water to other zones.

The selected alternative for the drainage system is: separate sewage with domestic

wastewater pumping to the WwTP-C and stormwater discharging into the Pance river, the Jamundí river at two sites, and to the Southern Channel at two sites. It would have an 87 ha area with a combined sewage system.

Stormwater treatment is not included in the study. Hydrologic calculations were made

only to quantify runoff volumes. Economic aspects were considered for selecting the effluent treatment and disposal

methods, mentioning environmental issues only in a qualitative manner. According to the economic evaluation, the selected option is pumping towards the WwTP-C
