The banks of the Chicamocha River, as in most rivers, generally serve as the basis for the development of human settlements.However, the anthropogenic activity has been deteriorating its environment and water quality, generating environmental and human health problems, as well as difficulty in meeting the demand for water.This article highlights the role of geoeducation in the transfer of knowledge about watersheds, in particular the Lower Basin Chicamocha River, as well as the design and development of pedagogical strategies focused on their sustainable development, based on awareness of the importance of hydric resources, interconnecting children, youth and adults with the natural environment.In this way, it is expected to mitigate the impact generated by urban expansion and waste disposal.The restoration of the Chicamocha River could be thought of from a perspective in which there is a greater recognition of the interconnected benefits that restored ecosystems can provide to society.
