WATER IS NOT JUST A UTILITY
IN ENERGY PROJECTS AND WELL CONSTRUCTION, IT IS PART OF THE SYSTEM From the aquifer to the end of the asset's life: source, abstraction, treatment, infrastructure, well construction, integrity, monitoring, and lifecycle. Water usually goes on the project list as a utility, next to power and communications. The label is convenient, and it is incomplete. In energy projects, water can be a resource, a process fluid, a heat carrier, a drilling-fluid ingredient, cement mix water,

COLOMBIA IS ALREADY USING ITS GROUNDWATER. THE REAL QUESTION IS WHETHER WE KNOW HOW TO MANAGE IT
In 2015, Carsucre reported natural recharge of 45 to 75 litres per second for the Morroa aquifer, against withdrawals of 1,000 to 1,200. The question is not whether Colombia has groundwater, but whether we are taking it within the recharge capacity of the system.
