| Abstract | Abstract This paper aims to show, from a historic environmental perspective, the main problems related to the availability and management of water resources in the city of Santiago de Cali in the early twentieth century (1900-1910). Here I show that everyday aspects of procurement practices used by the population and the various works of public and private infrastructure created for providing this resource, mainly highlighting the jets, the canals and the batteries it could channel the water will be contemplated to meet demand population. Inadequate practices of water resource management will present the problems linked to the lack of an adequate system of supply and control of water sources, and inappropriate drainage techniques employed, which negatively affected the picture of health Cali population of the time. Looms equally, how during this period the urban growth and population growth, set new challenges for the effective distribution of the precious liquid to society. Keywords: Water, Cali River, Basins of water, Sewage, Pollution, Disease, Environmental history. |
