Notes

water usage Per capita water consumption was approximately 150 litres per day between 1990 and 1995. By 2004 such consumption was down to 94 litres per day due to educational campaigns on rational water use and by 2010 it is expected to be 88 litres per day (EAAB, 2006). Currently, the water consumption rate in Bogotá is roughly 14 m3 s-1, where 20% is demanded by commercial activities.

May 2010 informal review

This article has various problems in its current form:

It conflates parts of Bogotá's article like economy and geography sections and even the infobox, I suggest merging those and Water management background into a history section.
It conflates past, present and future and has lots of duplication. History and Future developments sections would solve it.
It's very poorly referenced.
Sections don't follow convention; some can be merged (Legal initiatives, Multi-stakeholder assistance) and Institutional framework should be removed, it would form stubs for articles on those subject (EAAB).
Panoramic should be removed, it's too big and adds little value.

Any comments? --Canaima (talk) 06:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
