    Evaluación de la capacidad de pronóstico del sistema de guía de crecidas repentinas del noreste de Sudamérica (NWSAFFGS) para una subzona hidrográfica priorizada en Colombia
    (Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Sastoque Barreto, Ana María; Bernal Suárez, Néstor Ricardo; Bernal Suárez, Néstor Ricardo [0000-0003-0926-7935]
    Floods and flash floods are recurrent and devastating natural phenomena that cause significant economic losses and threaten the lives and well-being of affected communities, as well as the integrity of river ecosystems. The ability to accurately predict these events is crucial for risk management and urban and rural development planning. This thesis focuses on the verification of the NWSAFFGS system for the prediction of flash floods and floods in a hydrographic subzone, this by verifying three products: the predicted average areal precipitation (FMAP), the average soil moisture (ASM) and flash flood reference values (FFG). Verification is performed using statistical analysis such as Spearman correlation, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and bias (BIAS), in addition to the use of contingency tables. In relation to the performance of the system, although it detects the temporary patterns of precipitation, it overestimates the extreme events; compared to the temporal performance it presents a better overall performance in the dry and transition periods. With relation to land management, the issuance of alerts for flash floods is linked with the management of risk during the formulation of Watershed Management and Management Plans (POMCA), incorporating the threat approach linked to the exposed element. Finally, verification of the NWSAFFGS system shows that, although it has potential, its accuracy in predicting extreme events needs to be improved; this will contribute significantly to reducing the risk associated with floods and flash floods, improving planning and decision-making in risk management in vulnerable communities.

    Climate change is a global phenomenon that has garnered increasing attention in recent decades due to its significant impact on the environment, society, and the economy. It refers to long-term changes in the planet's climate patterns, including the rise in the Earth's average temperature and extreme weather events. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed this in its Fourth Assessment Report, stating that "the warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as evidenced by the observed increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea levels" (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2008, p. 12). The report also discusses the main causes, primarily greenhouse gases (GHGs), making the control and measurement of these gases essential. Hence, measuring the carbon footprint of a business or company is crucial. The document titled "Support for the Strategy Formulation Report for the Development of the Corporate Carbon Footprint Management Plan for the Salitre Transport Terminal" presents a detailed study on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by the Salitre Transport Terminal and proposes strategies for their mitigation and compensation. Emission factors from the IPCC and information management tools were used to calculate the GHG inventory. Organizational and operational boundaries were defined, and the quantification methodology was selected.

    Aplicación del índice de uso de agua para la priorización de reglamentación de corrientes hidrográficas en la cuenca del río Apulo
    (Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Romero Bohórquez , Yeiferson Leonel; Osorio Lozano, Juan Pablo; Espinosa García , Helmut; Espinosa García, Helmut [0000-0001-9341-3995]
    The Apulo River basin, located in several municipalities of Cundinamarca, is characterized by a high water demand due to factors such as population density, agricultural activities, non-stabled livestock, tourism, and industrial production, which increases pressure on the water system and generates conflicts over access to the resource during the dry season. To ensure the sustainable and equitable access of users in this basin to the resource, the water courses (Hydrographic Units level I and II) with the greatest vulnerability to source depletion were identified using the Water Use Index (IUA). This monitoring criterion, defined in the National Policy for Integrated Water Resource Management (PNGIRH), allows prioritizing the regulation of vulnerable water courses in the basin, being used by government organizations such as the Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca to evaluate water supply and demand. The basin’s supply of the 23 streams in the Paulo River was determined through the rainfall-runoff method using the geomatic tool HEC – Geo RAS, for processing cartographic information such as surface coverages, soil units, and climatological data from nine stations throughout the basin, with data series spanning 10 years. The water demand was determined by characterizing the records of current concessions granted in the basin by the Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca, which allocate flow based on the consumption modules adopted through CAR Agreement No. 004 of 2016. Subsequently, the supply-demand relationship was estimated using the IUA (Water Use Index), which corresponds to the amount of water used by different user sectors over a specific period (annual, monthly) and per spatial unit of the hydrographic subzone, in relation to the available surface water supply for the same time and spatial units. Five streams with critical IUA were identified, which are susceptible to flow regulation projects.

    This work analyzes the relationship between the Remuneration Rate for Timely Discharges into Water (TRVP) and compliance with the water quality objectives established by the environmental authorities of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of the Center of Antioquia (CORANTIOQUIA) and the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca ( CAR) during the period 2017-2022. To address this relationship, a quantitative methodology structured in several phases was used. Firstly, the key variables to be considered within the study were defined, subsequently, the validation of data obtained from the implementation reports of the Remunerative Rate for Specific Discharges into Water was carried out, analyzing both the billing of the rate and the contribution of different economic sectors and the behavior of the number of users during the period under study, allowing the identification of trends towards the reduction of pollutant discharged loads of BOD5 and TSS in both authorities, however challenges persist in meeting the global pollutant load goals. To delve deeper into this study, a Spearman correlation analysis was carried out, which quantified the relationship between the billing of the Remuneration Rate for Specific Water Discharges and compliance with quality objectives, indicating a negative correlation in both. jurisdictions. Furthermore, it was observed that the relationship between the billing of the Remuneration Rate for Specific Discharges into Water and the fulfillment of the polluting load goals varied significantly between the different hydrographic subzones, which shows that the TRVP can have diverse behaviors depending on the specific characteristics of each area.

    The development of industrial, agricultural and mining activities added to the increase of vehicles, mainly, in areas of expansion and urban development, has generated a negative alteration in the air resource; which leads to damage to the environment and health. For this reason, the purpose of this project is the determination of technical and environmental guidelines for the incorporation of areas of high air pollution in the regulation of industrial uses and the Land use plans of the f the Bogotá - Cundinamarca metropolitan region. Initially, a bibliographic research system was proposed in order to determine what criteria have been considered in Colombia and in the world for the inclusion of air pollution in land use plans, followed by an analysis of historical data obtained from SISAIRE using python and R to determine source areas of contamination (zones or regions that, due to hosting multiple emission sources, are considered as an area that generates air polluting substances) in accordance with the provisions of Decrete 1076 of 2015. The stations Nemocón, Sibaté - Los Sauces, Funza - Sisbén, Mosquera - Villa deportiva, Soacha - Hospital and Sopó - Briceño were identified as high source areas of contamination for the PM10 pollutant in 2017, while for the SDA jurisdiction, the Carvajal – Sevillana and Kennedy stations were identified as source areas of contamination. For the PM2.5 pollutant, the areas near the Carvajal – Sevillana and Kennedy monitoring stations were identified as high source areas of contamination. Finally, technical and environmental guidelines were proposed, which provide a roadmap for decision makers and government institutions in order to take into account air quality as a determinant when making territorial planning plans.

    Modelización de escenarios para contaminantes atmosféricos de criterio mediante la plataforma de análisis de bajas emisiones (LEAP-IBC): un caso de estudio en 4 categorías de emisiones para Colombia
    (Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Robles Sánchez, Andrés Felipe; Murad Pedraza, José Alejandro; Murad Pedraza, José Alejandro [0000-0003-4211-2601]
    Some productive activities emit substances into the atmosphere that negatively alter air quality. Within the framework of this problem, Colombia has acquired international commitments related to the reduction of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants, while, has worked internally to reduce criteria pollutant levels based on various resolutions. Among the studies that support air quality management and decision-making, the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (IDEAM) carried out the inventory of criteria pollutants and black carbon for the country in 2014 in order to identify the emission sources and the contribution of each economic sector to air pollution. This work focuses on criteria pollutants and black carbon, and it’s based on the inventory presented by IDEAM to prioritize emission categories and propose measures that contribute to the reduction of emissions by 2030 and 2050, generating mitigation scenarios thanks to the Low Emission Analysis Platform (LEAP). Initially, the data from the national inventory of criteria pollutants and black carbon corresponding to activity and emission factors for each category of emissions presented were loaded, later, demographic and economic information was collected to make projections of emissions to 2030 and 2050 to generate the reference scenario, with the projections and a bibliographic search system, the categories to prioritize were identified and measures were formulated according to projects, measures and strategies carried out by the country that are aligned with the research work. The need to prioritize the residential sector, transport, agriculture and the use of coal was evidenced. For the residential sector, changes in the use of firewood were modeled according to the national plan for the progressive substitution of firewood; for the transport sector, technological change and the substitution of diesel vehicles were taken into account; for the agricultural sector the appropriate national action of mitigation (NAMA) for panela was modeled, and for coal, changes in industry consumption were modeled at a national and international level. In addition, the changes in the residential sector show a co-benefit in public health, since it shows a reduction in premature deaths due to the reduction of indoor pollution by 2050.

    Apoyo para la zonificación ambiental del municipio de Albán, Cundinamarca, como componente esencial de la etapa de formulación en el proceso de revisión y ajuste de su esquema de ordenamiento territorial
    Garzón Perdomo, Johan Andrey; Ussa Garzón, Jaime Eddy
    The main objective of this project is to design the Environmental Zoning for the municipality of Albán, Cundinamarca, as an essential component in the review and adjustment of its Territorial Land-Use Plan (EOT). The proposed methodology is divided into three fundamental stages: Territorial Information Management, Territorial State Assessment, and the Design of Activity Areas and Land-Use Regimes. In the first stage, normative, technical, and cartographic information related to land-use planning determinants within the municipality's jurisdiction was collected. This includes aspects such as the classification of land under the ongoing planning process. The second stage focused on the Territorial State Assessment, where the land-use planning determinants were identified, specifically their levels of restriction and conditioning. Subsequently, activity areas and land-use regimes were defined for the entire area of the municipality of Albán, based on the territory's potential and the land-use planning determinants. Finally, based on the territorial classification outlined in Article 10 of Law 388 of 1997 and its categories of protection, production, and restricted development, a recommended land-use map was created for the territory of Albán. It was found that 63% of the municipal area is subject to some land-use planning determinant (DOT), and 37% (1917.3 ha) was subject to zoning. From this latter area, the land-use and management regime was developed, resulting in 61% being designated for traditional agricultural and/or forestry use, and 38% being designated for semi-intensive agricultural and/or forestry use

    In the first instance, reference must be made to "territorial planning." According to the provisions of Law 388 of July 18, 1997, territorial planning is a set of concerted political-administrative and physical planning actions undertaken by a territorial entity, in the exercise of the public function that corresponds to them, within the limits set by the Constitution and laws. This is done in order to have efficient instruments to guide the development of the territory under their jurisdiction and regulate the use, transformation, and occupation of space in accordance with socio-economic development strategies and in harmony with the environment and historical and cultural traditions. Territorial planning processes are not exempt from constant normative updates. Therefore, the incorporation of basic studies for risk management is of vital importance, as stated by Decree 1807 of 2014 compiled in Decree 1077 of 2015 and Decree 1232 of 2020. Additionally, the incorporation of the thematic axis of Climate Change is essential, starting from the third national communication on climate change conducted in 2017. In this context, this document is presented as an analysis of the environmental dimension of the municipality within the framework of the diagnostic stage. The ultimate objective of this technical support is to formulate a Primary Ecological Structure based on the environmental determinants issued by the Regional Autonomous Corporation - CAR Cundinamarca. This should encompass all elements of environmental importance, including those defined by the Zoning of the Río Negro POMCA, approved by Resolution 497 of 2022

    Apoyo en el diseño de un proyecto de acuerdo enfocado en el aprovechamiento de los residuos orgánicos de los jardines infantiles de Bogotá D.C.
    Torres López, Laura Catherine; Zuñiga Vargas, Pier Paolo
    The generation of waste is a significant issue in Bogotá, where 55.22% of the waste is organic and not utilized, negatively impacting various levels. The national solid waste policy of 2016 identified problems in waste management, such as insufficient source separation and non-selective collection and transportation. For this reason, it is important to address the issue of unused organic waste. One way to do this is by implementing actions and projects from the Public Administration in the childcare centers of the District Social Integration Secretariat (SDIS), as they lack instruments for managing the organic waste generated from their food preparation and delivery activities, contributing to waste generation and the issue of the Doña Juana Sanitary Landfill (RSDJ). By reducing the generated and unused organic waste, it is possible to decrease the negative impact on the environment and improve waste management in Bogotá. International experiences have shown that solid waste management planning and the use of tools such as waste characterization can be highly beneficial. They have also found that composting is a viable method for utilizing organic waste and that education plays a crucial role in promoting recycling and waste reduction. In this regard, the purpose of this internship is to design an Agreement Project that defines, through a district norm, the general guidelines that should be adopted by SDIS childcare centers in Bogotá, in order to improve the management of organic waste generated by these centers, from the formulation of waste management strategies. To this end, the proposed methodology involves characterizing and estimating the volume of waste generated by the childcare centers using secondary sources. Then, based on the characterization, propose strategies that involve the use of composting as an appropriate technology and present a possible collection system that integrates with community urban gardens; finally, the reduction of impacts on the RSDJ is analyzed. This internship is developed in the framework of support for the formulation of an Agreement Project with the working team of Councilman Oscar Jaime Ramírez Vahos, who will be responsible for evaluating the feasibility of the proposal and bringing it to debate in the Bogotá City Council.
