•Professor. Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. Hydraulic Engineering area. Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia. Full time. 1998-2016. •Director. Water Distribution and Sewerage Systems Research Center – CIACUA – Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá Colombia. Full time. 1996-2020. •Chair. Cátedra PAVCO Chair. Research in pipeline hydraulics, water supply systems and urban drainage systems. Full time. 1994-2020. Professor Juan Saldarriaga’s research is related with urban hydraulic systems and their water quality, with emphasis on potable water distribution system and urban drainage systems. His research interests include both mathematical and physical models as well as real urban systems for large cities. It is concerned with the development of new design programs including optimization of new systems, enlargement of existing ones and enhancement of old systems’ performance with emphasis in developing countries. The following are included in his research: • Application of hydraulic principles for optimal design of potable water distribution systems. • Application of hydraulic principles for optimal design of urban drainage systems, both pluvial and sanitary. • Treatment of water quality problems in potable water systems, including the development and detachments of biofilms. • Studies of pipeline hydraulics related with the new thermoplastic pipes and the hydraulically smooth turbulent flow. • Studies of the hydrodynamics of hydraulic structures related with urban drainage systems. • The monitoring and management of potable water distribution systems for both quality and quantity.
