Elaboración del manual de protocolos y prácticas académicas del equipo Hydrology Apparatus P6530

Abstract

The Hydrology Apparatus P6530, which is located in the Environmental Modeling Laboratory (LMA), is an equipment of great importance for the generation of knowledge in subjects related to Hydrology and Integrated Watershed Management. However, it could not be used by the academic community to carry out pedagogical or research processes due to the lack of knowledge about the operation and management of the equipment, given these circumstances, it was thought to develop a tool that would ensure a reliable and complete use of it, for this reason, the objective of this work was to elaborate the manual of protocols and academic practices of the Hydrology Apparatus P6530 as a support instrument for the environmental modeling laboratory of the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, to achieve this, 5 phases were proposed that were developed progressively when carrying out descriptive and experimental research, through the use of secondary sources of information such as bibliographic and digital resources mainly provided by the provider and of primary information such as experimentation and observation, finally obtaining the implementation of a guide document such as is the Manual of protocols and academic practices which was structured so that it is possible to find in it the generalities of the equipment such as its description, operation and maintenance, as well as 3 experiments for the subject of integrated watershed management, making use throughout this of tables, flow diagrams and illustrations that allow the development of each of these activities, to make a safe use of the equipment, which guarantees the care of this and protect the health of those who handle it, thus promoting research and the use of laboratories.
