 ====== Tunjuelo River ======
-The Tunjuelo River is an important tributary of the Bogotá River, descending through southernmost city areas, such as Usme, and an essential river, though highly polluted, reflecting urban challenges - a potential resource for greenery and at the same time a target of waste. The river flows through densely populated areas, with communities like Usme developing alongside it, leading to issues like informal waste dumping and urban fragmentation.

-For half a century, Tunjuelo River has been contributing to the city's development.  At first, the Tunjuelo River worked as a portable water source. In the mid-20th century, the city extracted concrete, an important building material along the riverland. Today, it is polluted, with high rates of bad odor and water quality problems due to the unregulated effluents stemming from it, hence being a major focus for environmental efforts in Bogotá.
