This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Ciudad de México cuenta con uno de los sistemas de aprovechamiento hídrico más complejos y dinámicos en el mudo, cuya insostenibilidad se ha demostrado a partir de la reducción de agua dotada a la población. Este trabajo aborda los efectos de la falta de agua potable en los hogares y cómo se intensifican en delegaciones socialmente vulnerables, tal como sucede en Iztapalapa, cuya población adolece de diversas condiciones socioeconómicas desfavorables debido a que el suministro per cápita no garantiza una dotación mínima necesaria, por la cual los habitantes se ven obligados a comprar el líquido, sacrificando otros rubros básicos del hogar. La agenda pendiente en materia hídrica urge la concurrencia de todos los actores sociales para una acción pública integral, que no sólo busque salvaguardar la salud mediante los sistemas hídricos, sino que también ayude a reducir la vulnerabilidad social de la población y permita hacer frente a la poca disponibilidad de agua en la Ciudad de México.

Download or read book Agua y ciudades written by Judith Domínguez and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El agua y las ciudades son una preocupación obligada en nuestros tiempos. A medida que las ciudades crecen, demandan más recursos, energía y agua. México es un país predominantemente urbano con dinámicas económicas diversas, pero, en todas ellas, la gestión del agua representa un gran desafío ambiental, económico y social. Esta obra colectiva es una reflexión de investigadores, profesores y egresados del Centro de Estudios Demográficos, Urbanos y Ambientales de El Colegio de México que aborda diversas facetas de la problemática hídrica urbana. Es producto de un diálogo multidisciplinario sobre la complejidad de este fenómeno, que busca aportar orientaciones para superar la crisis hídrica desde el punto de vista teórico-conceptual y de la gestión. En la obra se tratan temas urgentes y de actualidad, como la seguridad hídrica, el derecho humano al agua, la compleja administración y gobernanza de los sistemas de agua urbana, sus nexos con las dinámicas económica y demográfica en México, las demandas de agua, sus aspectos económicos o los servicios ambientales que nos proporcionan los ríos urbanos.

Book Synopsis Vulnerabilidad de los recursos hídricos bajo escenarios de cambio climático en el llano de Galeana, Nuevo León, México by :
Download or read book Vulnerabilidad de los recursos hídricos bajo escenarios de cambio climático en el llano de Galeana, Nuevo León, México written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El estudio de la vulnerabilidad de los recursos hídricos al cambio climático a nivel nacional ha sido relevante en México, sin embargo derivado del análisis general surge la necesidad de realizar estudios a nivel regional para establecer medidas de adaptación en las zonas más vulnerables. Otro aspecto importante es rescatar los conocimientos tradicionales de las comunidades para ser integrados a los modelos de adaptación. La zona de estudio de la presente investigación, se ubica en el municipio de Galeana, Nuevo León, en donde el abastecimiento de agua es mediante pozos de extracción de agua subterránea y el principal uso es para la agricultura de riego, practicada principalmente por inversionistas privados; el sistema acuífero se encuentra sobreexplotado y la necesidad de recurso prevalece en toda la región. En el presente trabajo se realizó un estudio de campo, aplicando entrevistas a actores clave, con el fin de entender la problemática actual, sus causas y efectos. También se realizó una modelación usando el programa WEAP, para medir el impacto de cambio climático en el balance hídrico, para tal fin se utilizaron los escenarios RCP (Representaive Concentration Pathways) y se crearon también otros escenarios de adaptación basados en las propuestas de los pobladores obtenidas en las entrevistas. Los resultados de la fase de campo fueron representados en un árbol de problemas, para integrar la información de modo coherente e interrelacionar los conceptos. El impacto del cambio climático en el futuro cercano en la recarga del acuífero con respecto al escenario base, resultó del orden de 40% menos recarga para el 2020, pasando del orden de 103 Mm3 (escenario base 1961 a 2010) a 68.62 Mm3 para ese año. Los meses de enero, febrero y marzo son los que muestran menores recargas respecto al escenario base, repercutiendo en mayor medida en actividades de agricultura de temporal, y septiembre el mes que menor impacto tiene (disminuye un 9%)."--Resumen hoja v.

Book Synopsis Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design by : Patrick A. Ray
Download or read book Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design written by Patrick A. Ray and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design. The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. This book provides background on the risks relevant in water systems planning, the different approaches to scenario definition in water system planning, and an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is based. The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk. The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where similar challenges arise.

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.

Download or read book The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020 written by UNESCO and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 edition of the WWDR, titled Water and Climate Change illustrates the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of the broader sustainable development agenda. Supported by examples from across the world, it describes both the challenges and opportunities created by climate change, and provides potential responses – in terms of adaptation, mitigation and improved resilience – that can be undertaken by enhancing water resources management, attenuating water-related risks, and improving access to water supply and sanitation services for all in a sustainable manner. It addresses the interrelations between water, people, environment and economics in a changing climate, demonstrating how climate change can be a positive catalyst for improved water management, governance and financing to achieve a sustainable and prosperous world for all. The report provides a fact-based, water-focused contribution to the knowledge base on climate change. It is complementary to existing scientific assessments and designed to support international political frameworks, with the goals of helping the water community tackle the challenges of climate change, and informing the climate change community about the opportunities that improved water management offers in terms of adaptation and mitigation.

Book Synopsis Advances in Fibre Production Science in South American Camelids and other Fibre Animals by : Martina Gerken
Download or read book Advances in Fibre Production Science in South American Camelids and other Fibre Animals written by Martina Gerken and published by Göttingen University Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal fibres from South American camelids and other fibre or wool bearing species provide important products for use by the human population. The contemporary context includes the competition with petrocarbon-based artificial fibres and concern about excessive persistence of these in the natural environment. Animal fibres present highly valuable characteristics for sustainable production and processing as they are both natural and renewable. On the other hand, their use is recognised to depend on availability of appropriate quality and quantity, the production of which is underpinned by a range of sciences and processes which support development to meet market requirements. This collection of papers combines international experience from South and North America, China and Europe. The focus lies on domestic South American camelids (alpacas, llamas) and also includes research on sheep and goats. It considers latest advances in sustainable development under climate change, breeding and genetics, reproduction and pathology, nutrition, meat and fibre production and fibre metrology. Publication of this book is supported by the Animal Fibre Working Group of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP). ‘Advances in Fibre Production Science in South American Camelids and other Fibre Animals’ addresses issues of importance to scientists and animal breeders, textile processors and manufacturers, specialised governmental policy makers and students studying veterinary, animal and applied biological sciences.
Book Synopsis Biological Wastewater Treatment by : Mogens Henze
Download or read book Biological Wastewater Treatment written by Mogens Henze and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1881 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.
