Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro contiene una panorámica sobre el amplio horizonte profesional que se abre ante el titulado (ingeniero o licenciado) en medio ambiente, así como ante aquellas otras titulaciones que deseen incorporarse a este pujante campo de actividad; muestra el "qué hacer y el cómo hacerlo" en materia de planificación, ejecución y gestión de las actividades de desarrollo, es decir, de lo que conforma el mundo de la consultoría y de la ingeniería ambiental; elaboración de planes, programas, proyectos, estudios, instrumentos específicos de control ambiental, dirección/ejecución de la obra y gestión ambiental de actividades en marcha, en sus múltiples modalidades. La intervención del profesional del medio ambiente en estos instrumentos de acción puede ser individual, pero fundamentalmente se hace formando parte de equipos de expertos en otros campos, a los que aporta el conocimiento, los principios, la sensibilidad y el compromiso que caracteriza al medio ambiente. El libro pretende combinar de forma equilibrada los contenidos conceptuales, metodológico y técnico a lo largo de tres partes: la primera se inicia con una tipología sobre los trabajos profesionales, para presentar después la filosofía con que deben ser encarados y los elementos técnicos comunes al contenido de todos ellos; diagnóstico de una situación y propuestas de futuro. La segunda parte desarrolla los instrumentos generales para planificar el desarrollo sostenible: planes y programas, para proyectar y ejecutar las actividades que lo hacen realidad: proyectos y dirección de obra, y para aplicar los instrumentos específicos de control y gestión ambiental: preventivos, correctores y curativos; para cada uno de ellos aporta los cuatro elementos básicos que determinan su elaboración: concepto, regulación legal, metodología y técnicas. La tercera parte presenta los elementos de apoyo y complementarios: programación, aseguramiento de la calidad, prevención de riesgos laborales y preparación de ofertas relativos a la actividad profesional en general y a los instrumentos anteriores en particular, y concluye con un capítulo sobre deontología profesional.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro que se presenta pretende integrar en un solo texto las tres áreas más importantes de la ingeniería ambiental –aire, agua y residuos– a las que se han añadido el estudio de contaminantes físicos y el de gestión ambiental, en sus diferentes aspectos ACV, HC, AAI, EIA, etc. A lo largo de todo el texto se ha tratado de mantener un suficiente y parejo rigor, teniendo en cuenta todos los contenidos que debíamos incluir y el espacio que previamente nos habíamos fijado para ello, ya que el libro está pensado para que sirva de texto base a la asignatura cuatrimestral Ingeniería del Medio Ambiente, que figura como obligatoria en los Planes de Estudios de todos los grados del ámbito de la Ingeniería Industrial (cuarto curso, 1.er semestre), por lo que se ha enfatizado en lo que son conceptos y definiciones, y se han incluido numerosas figuras y tablas que resultan muy adecuadas para condensar información. Para un mejor aprovechamiento del tiempo que se dedique a su estudio, así como para facilitar la asimilación de contenidos, cada capítulo del libro incluye al final algunas cuestiones y ejercicios prácticos con su resolución, al objeto de que el alumno pueda apreciar el grado de asimilación de los contenidos teóricos previamente estudiados. Indicar, finalmente, que nos daríamos por satisfechos si contribuimos a aumentar el interés de los alumnos por los temas ambientales, condición necesaria para contribuir a la resolución de los problemas que en la actualidad afectan al medio ambiente. Entre todos los hemos creado, y entre todos, estamos seguros, los vamos a resolver.

Download or read book Circular Economy Applications for Water Security written by Erick R. Bandala and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In arid and semi-arid regions, where water demand exceeds water availability, water security is becoming a significant concern not only related to water availability but also to rigorous and costly requirements to remove conventional and emerging contaminants from effluents discharging into drinking water sources or as water reuse becomes an alternate water supply for communities in these regions. Water and wastewater treatment demands a great amount of energy and resources, highlighting the need for novel applications of the circular economy concept. Circular Economy Applications for Water Security examines knowledge gaps, avenues of future research, and challenges related to the potential of enhanced underutilized/waste materials as a transition to circular economy applications for ensuring the proper quality of water. This book includes fundamental information and practical examples that helps to better understand the concepts included. The circular economy concept is helpful to incept sustainability in the water treatment processes. Every chapter includes the identification of knowledge gaps, avenues for further research, and challenges that guide readers towards real state-of-the-art analysis. Contributors are experts in their areas and will commit to explaining concepts in a user-friendly way without missing scientific rigor.
Download or read book Ingenier a ambiental written by Patrick Lavelle and published by Universidad Nacional de Colombia. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calentamiento global, cambio climático, alteración de ecosistemas estratégicos, sobreexplotación de nuestros recursos naturales y sobreacumulación de residuos, son frases que escuchamos a diario en diversos medios de comunicación. Sin embargo, muchas veces, esos medios desconocen la verdadera esencia de los conflictos ambientales a los que actualmente nuestro planeta está siendo sometido por diversas causas: intereses económicos y políticos, sobrepoblación y hasta la ignorancia misma. Es por ello que los equipos de investigación del programa de Ingeniería Ambiental de la Facultad de Ingeniería y Administración de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Palmira, desde hace más de diez años, hemos concentrado todas nuestras capacidades académicas, científicas y técnicas en proponer solución a grandes problemas ambientales que afectan varias de las regiones de Colombia. En este libro sintetizamos varias de nuestras más valiosas actividades científicas que han contribuido a avanzar en la comprensión, el análisis y la presentación de soluciones a tales problemas.
Download or read book Children in Crisis written by Manata Hashemi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together ethnographers conducting research on children living in crisis situations in both developing and developed regions, taking a cross-cultural approach that spans different cities in the global North and South to provide insight and analyses into the lifeworlds of their young, at-risk inhabitants. Looking at the lived experiences of poverty, drastic inequality, displacement, ecological degradation and war in countries including Haiti, Argentina and Palestine, the book shows how children both respond to and are shaped by their circumstances. Going beyond conventional images of children subjected to starvation, hunger, and disease to build an integrated analysis of what it means to be a child in crisis in the 21st century, the book makes a significant contribution to the nascent field of study concerned with development and childhood. With children now at the forefront of debates on human rights and poverty reduction, there is no better time for scholars, policymakers and the general public to understand the complex social, economic and political dynamics that characterize their present predicaments and future life chances.
