Use Cases

• Analyze trends in water service coverage (% COBERTURA ACUEDUCTO) and sewerage coverage (% COBERTURA ALCANTARILLADO) over time (AÑO) across different municipalities (MUNICIPIO).
• Model the relationship between service continuity (% CONTINUIDAD) and water quality (IRCA) to identify infrastructure investment priorities.
• Compare water quality index (IRCA) scores across different municipalities (MUNICIPIO) for a given year (AÑO).
• Track progress towards universal service access by visualizing changes in % COBERTURA ACUEDUCTO and % COBERTURA ALCANTARILLADO over multiple years (AÑO).

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.
• The dataset includes a specific water quality index (IRCA) alongside service coverage metrics.
• Data is sourced from the official Colombian open data portal (www.datos.gov.co).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
