Abstract

In Latin American circular economy practices, water is a fundamental resource. The region holds strategic water-related ecosystems, its economic activities are predominantly based on water-intensive agriculture, and part of its energy is hydro-powered. This chapter describes a model for circular water management among firms located around the Bogotá River basin in Cundinamarca, Colombia. The firms took part in a triple helix partnership, named RedES, using learning by doing, and a facilitation methodology, for strengthening capacities of companies for collaborative projects design. The RedES experience shows how the dissemination of circular water management in a territory contributes to water security by conserving water sources. This chapter highlights the key features of the RedES model for scaling circular water practices, the impacts on resource efficiency obtained by participating firms, and the lessons learned, thus contributing to the understanding of models to disseminate circular economy in water management.
