Análisis y revisión del funcionamiento hidráulico de las rejillas de captación de los sistemas de acueducto: Marinilla, Santa Fé de Antioquia y El Capiro operados por Conhydra E.S.P.

En la presente investigación se realizó un análisis y revisión del funcionamiento hidráulico de las bocatomas de fondo de los sistemas de acueducto de Marinilla, Santa Fe de Antioquia y El Capiro, los cuales son operados por CONHYDRA E.S.P -- A partir de un diagnosticado de algunos sistemas de acueducto manejados y operados por esta empresa se encontró que presentan algunas deficiencias por efectos del estado de operación de la captación de dichos sistemas, junto con la oferta hídrica de las cuencas -- Dado que se trata del componente de un sistema de acueducto que resulta de vital importancia para la prestación del servicio de manera permanente, se propuso entonces la realización del presente estudio del funcionamiento hidráulico de dichas captaciones, con el objetivo principal de contribuir al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de los habitantes de los tres municipios antioqueños, por medio del análisis de las causas de los problemas típicos en el diseño y la operación de captaciones de fondo y su solución específica -- Las conclusiones, además de ofrecer criterios y alternativas técnicas para las necesidades de cada acueducto, apuntan a la necesidad de un programa liderado por el gobierno nacional que permita dotar de los estudios y diseños correspondientes y reglamentarios a los sistemas de acueducto que aún no los tienen, pues los programas actuales sólo exigen para los sistemas que no tienen dichos estudios y diseños un plan de contingencia para nunca incurrir en un desabastecimiento de aguas para la comunidad

Reframing the development of corporate learning

Due to increasing recognition by industry that partnerships with universities can lead to more effective knowledge and skills acquisition and deployment, corporate learning programmes are currently experiencing a resurgence of interest. Rethinking of corporations’ approaches to what has traditionally been classed as ‘training’ has resulted in a new focus on learning and the adoption of philosophies that underlie the academic paradigm. This paper reports on two studies of collaboration between major international engineering corporations and an Australian university, the aim of which was to up-skill the workforce in response to changing markets. The paper highlights the differences between the models of learning adopted in such collaboration and those in more conventional, university-based environments. The learning programmes combine the ADDIE (analysis, design, develop, implement and evaluate) development and workplace learning models. Adaptations that have added value for industry partners and recommendations as to how these can be evolved to cope with change are discussed. The learning is contextualised by industry- based subject matter experts working in close collaboration with university experts and learning designers to develop programmes that are reflective of current and future needs in the organisation. Results derived from user feedback indicate that the learning programmes are effectively aligned with the needs of the industry partners whilst simultaneously upholding academic ideals. In other words, it is possible to combine academic and more traditional approaches to develop corporate learning programmes that satisfy requirements in the workplace. Emerging from the study, a new conceptual framework for the development of corporate learning is presented.

Turbulent measurements in a small subtropical estuary with semidiurnal tides

Since predictions of scalar dispersion in small estuaries can rarely be predicted accurately, new field measurements were conducted continuously at relatively high frequency for up to 50 h (per investigation) in a small subtropical estuary with semidiurnal tides. The bulk flow parameters varied in time with periods comparable to tidal cycles and other large-scale processes. The turbulence properties depended upon the instantaneous local flow properties. They were little affected by the flow history, but their structure and temporal variability were influenced by a variety of parameters including the tidal conditions and bathymetry. A striking feature of the data sets was the large fluctuations in all turbulence characteristics during the tidal cycle, and basic differences between neap and spring tide turbulence.

Turbulence and suspended sediment measurements in an urban environment during the Brisbane River flood of January 2011

In urbanised areas, the flood flows constitute a hazard to populations and infrastructure as illustrated during major floods in 2011. During the 2011 Brisbane River flood, some turbulent velocity data were collected using acoustic Doppler velocimetry in an inundated street. The field deployment showed some unusual features of flood flow in the urban environment. That is, the water elevations and velocities fluctuated with distinctive periods between 50 and 100 s linked with some local topographic effects. The instantaneous velocity data were analysed using a triple decomposition. The velocity fluctuations included a large energy component in the slow fluctuation range, while the turbulent motion components were much smaller. The suspended sediment data showed some significant longitudinal flux. Altogether the results highlighted that the triple decomposition approach originally developed for period flows is well suited to complicated flows in an inundated urban environment.
