Abstract

This article, the result of an investigation that takes as a case study the Cali-Yumbo Corridor,
integrated into the process of metropolization of Cali, aims to demonstrate the configuration
of drinking water management as a metropolitan fact. Its development considered:
1) the interpretation of legal elements and spatial policies that facilitate dialogues or
possibilities of integration between municipalities, for the provision of this public service;
2) the identification of problems in the drinking water sector, common to several municipalities
in the public proposals of supra-municipal integration for Cali and its area of influence
and; 3) the characterization of the metropolitan fact from the vision of social agents that
intervene in the management of the sector. From the qualitative research methods, techniques
such as documentary review, semi-structured interviews, field trips and content analysis
were used, which made it possible to show the lack of articulation on the part of territorial
entities for inter-municipal drinking water management understood as a metropolitan fact.
