In this study a presentation is made of the Small Hydroelectric Power Plant (PCH) located in Usaquén (Bogota), the work is based on an engineering project carried out by the Aqueduct and Sewer Company of Bogotá (EAAB). It is addressed first of all the environmental problems considered in this project and the business context that propitiates it, taking into account the technical background of the operation of the aqueduct system of the city. In second instance, the technical generalities and the scopes that were estimated in the formulation of the project are exposed to finally contrast them with the results obtained after five years of operation of the project.
