ORINOCO REPORTE DE SALUD CUENCA DEL RÍO 2016 COLOMBIA
The 2016 Orinoco Basin Health Report evaluates the Colombian section of the Orinoco River basin, assigning an overall health score of 3.2 (moderately good) based on 11 indicators. The analysis reveals a clear west-to-east gradient: western sub-basins like Alto Meta (1.9) suffer from high degradation due to agro-industrial expansion and oil and gas extraction, while eastern sub-basins like Matavén (4.4) remain more intact. Key threats across the region include deforestation, illegal mining, and unsustainable land-use changes. The report emphasizes critical data gaps in water quality monitoring and biodiversity inventories and aligns its findings with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
