Book excerpt: El enfoque de este proyecto corresponde a la evaluación del desempeño del piloto de Sistemas Urbanos de Drenaje Sostenible (SUDS), construido en el Parque Metropolitano San Cristóbal Sur. El tren de tratamiento se compone por una Cuneta Verde y una Cuenca Seca de Drenaje Extendido (CSDE), implementadas para promover procesos de detención, captura de partículas sólidas e infiltración de escorrentía pluvial. Para lograr el objetivo, se monitoreó el tren de tratamiento durante la segunda temporada invernal del año 2017, (entre 8 de noviembre y 15 de diciembre), y durante la primera temporada de lluvias de 2018. Luego se estimaron las reducciones de caudal pico, volúmenes de escorrentía y remoción de contaminantes. Además, se implementó y calibró un modelo en WinSLAMM, con el fin de evaluar el desempeño del piloto en cada tipología y establecer los factores que afectan la remoción de contaminantes particulados. Los registros de caudales indicaron que todos los eventos...

Download or read book Evaluaci n de los sistemas de drenaje urbano sostenible en la reducci n del riesgo de inundaci n urbana written by Luisa Fernanda Bonilla Triana and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La constante transformación del paisaje natural en las ciudades ha ocasionado una alteración en el ciclo hidrológico que se traduce en el aumento de escorrentía e inundaciones. El objetivo del presente proyecto de grado es evaluar si la implementación de sistemas de drenaje urbano sostenible (SUDS) permite reducir el riesgo de inundación. Para ello, se tomó como caso de estudio la etapa II del plan maestro de alcantarillado del municipio de Cajicá, se evaluaron los techos verdes y los techos azules, y se usó del software EPA SWMM para comparar escenarios con y sin SUDS. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron determinar que la reducción en el riesgo de inundación con la implementación de SUDS es proporcional al nivel de impermeabilización de la cuenca, es decir, entre más impermeable la cuenca, mayor es la reducción en los volúmenes de inundación. Asimismo, se concluyó que los techos azules tienen un mejor desempeño que los techos verdes para reducir las inundaciones urbanas." -- Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado.

Download or read book Sustainable Development Research and Practice in Mexico and Selected Latin American Countries written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an essential overview of sustainable development research in Mexico. It discusses the empirical research methods and findings, as well as practical initiatives and projects being pursued in Mexico and other countries in the region. Although a number of Mexican universities are now conducting high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development, there are few publications that offer a multidisciplinary overview of research efforts for a broader audience. This book addresses that gap in the literature, providing researchers at Mexican universities – including those from other countries working in Mexico – with an opportunity to present their work, i.e. curriculum innovations, empirical work, activities, case studies, and practical projects. As such, it fosters the exchange of information, ideas and experiences, successful initiatives and best practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
