  • Webinar Digitalización del Ciclo del Agua: su Optimización

    By: Francisco Javier Calmuntia Arroyo Francisco Javier Calmuntia Arroyo , 16 days ago

    Miércoles 17 de abril, 16:30 horas
     
    El aumento de la población a nivel mundial y el incremento de la civilización están afectando al ciclo natural del agua. Hay que tener en cuenta que El 97.5% del agua de la Tierra es salada. Más del 99% del agua restante está en depósitos subterráneos o en forma de hielo. Así que menos del 1% del agua dulce se encuentra en lagos, ríos y otras formas superficiales disponibles. El 15 de noviembre de 2022 la población mundial alcanzó los 8000 millones de personas y desde la Revolución Industrial el crecimiento es exponencial.
    Tanto la industrialización como el aumento de población hace que el ciclo deba ser atendido de una manera activa con la inclusión de plantas de tratamientos de aguas residuales, potabilizadoras, desalinizadoras, etc. A su vez, nos encontramos en una situación en la que el calentamiento global está afectando directamente al ciclo del agua, con cambios en las corrientes oceánicas, disminución de precipitaciones o aumento de las mismas, pero en forma de tormentas cada vez más potentes que provocan inundaciones, pero poco aprovechamiento del agua precipitada. Todo ello hace necesario la implementación de soluciones que controlen los consumos, los residuos, los tratamientos de aguas, su trasporte y consumo y un largo etc.

    Participantes

    La reunión será coordinada por Ricardo Fernández, Vocal de Actividades de ISA.

    El webinar comenzará con una presentación a cargo de D. Sergio Muiña (Weidmuller).
