The main purpose of this Master's Dissertation is to carry out a detailed diagnosis of the existing problems in the city of Barranquilla-Colombia, with the well-known urban streams, mainly focusing on the Rebolo basin. Barranquilla, named officially as Industrial and Port Special District, is the capital of the department of the Atlantic and is located in the northeastern sector of the department, bordering the western margin of the Magdalena River, approximately 7.5 km from the mouth of the Caribbean Sea. During the last years, the city has presented an accelerated population and structural growth, this generating an increase of the impermeable zones, and consequently an increase of runoffs, in addition will the lack of a sewage system. Therefore, it is intended to perform an analysis and diagnosis of the existing structures in the Rebolo basin in order to determine the feasibility of incorporating them as part of the solution, and to later present solutions that integrate traditional sewer systems with sustainable urban drainage techniques, thus achieving an optimum design under a technical and environmental point of view. The first chapters of the present paper give us an idea of the existing problems in the city of Barranquilla and highlight the main characteristics of the study area, such as: climatology, socioeconomic and demographic aspects, as well as the background of the studied problem. In addition, the collection of baseline data and the hydraulic criteria proposed by the Technical Regulation of the Drinking Water and Basic Sanitation Sector (RAS 2000), current legislation the design, development and maintenance of civil works relating to the drinking water sector and basic sanitation, are detailed. Finally the solutions proposed for the present problems will be shown, complemented by their respective characteristics. ; El presente Trabajo de Fin de Máster tiene como objetivo principal realizar un diagnóstico detallado de la problemática existente en la ciudad de Barranquilla-Colombia, con los ...
