El proceso lluvia-escurrimiento-erosión en laderas y microcuencas instrumentadas

PEDRO RIVERA RUIZ JOSE LUIS OROPEZA MOTA ENRIQUE MEJIA SAENZ LUIS MARIO TAPIA VARGAS EUSEBIO JR. VENTURA RAMOS (2012, [Artículo])

Se evaluó el proceso lluvia-escurrimiento-erosión en diferentes prácticas de manejo con cultivos de escarda y de cobertera en lotes de escurrimiento, así como también en una parcela con cultivo de maíz, establecidos en laderas de suelos andosoles de la cuenca Villa Victoria del Sistema Cutzamala durante 2007. Se presentaron 168 eventos de lluvia de los cuales sólo 14 generaron escurrimiento superficial y erosión del suelo. Los resultados mostraron que en pendientes de 30%, los cultivos de escarda en surcos al contorno tuvieron una eficiencia promedio del 40% para el control de los escurrimientos y la erosión del suelo; por otro lado, en los cultivos de cobertera, su eficiencia fue del 62%.

Alternative cropping and feeding options to enhance sustainability of mixed crop-livestock farms in Bangladesh

Timothy Joseph Krupnik Jeroen Groot (2024, [Artículo])

We investigated alternative cropping and feeding options for large (>10 cows), medium (5–10 cows) and small (≤4 cows) mixed crop – livestock farm types, to enhance economic and environmental performance in Jhenaidha and Meherpur districts – locations with increasing dairy production – in south western Bangladesh. Following focus group discussions with farmers on constraints and opportunities, we collected baseline data from one representative farm from each farm size class per district (six in total) to parameterize the whole-farm model FarmDESIGN. The six modelled farms were subjected to Pareto-based multi-objective (differential evolution algorithm) optimization to generate alternative dairy farm and fodder configurations. The objectives were to maximize farm profit, soil organic matter balance, and feed self-reliance, in addition to minimizing feed costs and soil nitrogen losses as indicators of sustainability. The cropped areas of the six baseline farms ranged from 0.6 to 4.0 ha and milk production per cow was between 1,640 and 3,560 kg year−1. Feed self-reliance was low (17%–57%) and soil N losses were high (74–342 kg ha−1 year−1). Subsequent trade-off analysis showed that increasing profit and soil organic matter balance was associated with higher risks of N losses. However, we found opportunities to improve economic and environmental performance simultaneously. Feed self-reliance could be increased by intensifying cropping and substituting fallow periods with appropriate fodder crops. For the farm type with the largest opportunity space and room to manoeuvre, we identified four strategies. Three strategies could be economically and environmentally benign, showing different opportunities for farm development with locally available resources.

Gobernanza de múltiple escala para la gestión local del agua de consumo humano en América Latina: estudios de caso en Costa Rica, Honduras y México

Multilevel governance for local management of drinking water in Latin America: case studies from Costa Rica, Honduras and Mexico

FERNANDO GUMETA GOMEZ ELVIRA DURAN MEDINA David Brayden (2017, [Artículo])

El abastecimiento del agua para consumo humano a escala local puede depender de la participación social. Se compararon tres regímenes de gobernanza para gestión del agua basado en acción colectiva y en entidades anidadas: 1) Asociaciones Administradoras de Sistemas de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Sanitario (ASADAS) en Costa Rica, 2) Juntas Ad-ministradoras del Agua (JAA) en Honduras y 3) Comités de Agua (CA) en Oaxaca, México. Se analizaron el marco legal, la estructura y operatividad y la eficiencia en la provisión y conservación de los recursos hídricos mediante revisión documental, observación partici-pativa y entrevistas informales.ASADAS y JAA son reconocidas legalmente, mientras que los CA no tienen soporte en el marco legal mexicano. Los regímenes mostraron estructuras y operatividad análoga, así como tendencias similares hacia eficiencia en la provisión del agua y en asegurar la recarga hídrica, pero capacidades económicas diferentes. Reconocer y empoderar los CA en México podría aumentar y garantizar el abastecimiento de agua a el largo plazo

Adequate supply of drinking water at local level depends, in many cases on community participation. We compare three governance regimes for drinking water management based on multilevel collective action: 1) ASADAS in Costa Rica, 2) Water Boards (JAA, for its acronym in spanish) in Honduras and 3) Water User Committees (CA, for its acronym in spanish) in Mexico. Our data is based on participant observation, and formal and informal interviews. Legal framework, structure and operation, and efficiency for provision and conservation of water resources are analyzed. ASADAS and Water Boards are legal entities with recog-nized community participation and collective action, while Water Committees have no legal support by the Mexican Government. Regimens showed similar structures and operation, but different economic capabilities and efficiencies in the provision of water and in ensur-ing water recharge. Recognition and empowerment of the Water Committees in Mexico could increase and ensure water provision in the long- term

Estudio de la erosión costera en Cancún y la Riviera Maya, México

PEDRO ANTONIO GUIDO ALDANA ADRIANA MARIA RAMIREZ CAMPEROS SERGIO CRUZ LEON ARTURO BRUNO JUAREZ LEON (2009, [Artículo])

La zona turística de Cancún y la Riviera Maya, en el estado de Quintana Roo, constituye uno de los desarrollos turísticos más importantes de México. Debido a su ubicación geográfica, la región en estudio es altamente vulnerable a los ciclones tropicales. Mediante visitas técnica y el análisis de imágenes satelitales, especialistas del Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua, de la Universidad Autónoma de México y del Instituto Politécnico Nacional se dieron a la tarea de estudiar las posibles causas de la erosión costera con el fin de proponer algunas soluciones. Para lograr tal objetivo, la zona turística se caracterizó de acuerdo con su problemática particular. El análisis de la información obtenida permite afirmar que las causas de la erosión son tanto naturales (interacción de procesos climáticos, meteorológicos, hidrodinámicos y sedimentarios con la morfología costera) como antropogénicas (ocupación de la duna litoral por parte de particulares, construcción desordenada de obras de protección). Pudo concluirse que las soluciones propuestas para detener la erosión costera deberían seleccionarse desde un punto de vista integral y además ser blandas, como lo es la alimentación artificial con arena.

Internal erosion under spillway rested on an embakment dam

JOSE RAUL FLORES BERRONES (2015, [Artículo])

This paper presents the investigation about the mechanism of internal erosion caused in the right abutment of the Shahghasem dam’s spillway. Shahghasem dam is an earthen dam located in Yasouj, in southwest of Iran. A significant hole and pipe have been observed in the corner of the right abutment from upstream view. The foundation is Marlstone, which has low cohesion and susceptible for internal erosion and piping in some conditions. Going through details of the design maps has shown that Lane’s criteria for selecting safe dimensions of the seepage control measures have not been considered properly. A series of the supportive walls are designed to attach to the right part of the spillway in order to increase the length of seepage. The pipe route of the erosion should also be grouted with high quality concrete.

Physiological ecology of Mexican CAM plants: history, progress, and opportunities

Joel David Flores Rivas Oscar Briones Villareal JOSE LUIS ANDRADE (2022, [Artículo])

"In Mexico, plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are part of the Mexican culture, have different uses and are even emblematic. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of the Mexican CAM plants has been studied physiologically. For this review, the following questions were considered: What ecophysiological studies have been conducted with CAM species native to Mexico? What ecophysiological processes in Mexican CAM plants are the most studied? What type of ecophysiological studies with CAM plants are still needed? A database of scientific studies on CAM plant species from Mexico was documented, including field and laboratory works for species widely distributed, and those studies made outside Mexico with Mexican species. Physiological processes were grouped as germination, photosynthesis, and water relations. Most studies were done for CAM species of Cactaceae, Bromeliaceae, Asparagaceae and Orchidaceae, andmost ecophysiological studies have been done on germination of cacti. Field and laboratory studies on photosynthesis and water relations were mostly for terrestrial cacti and epiphytic bromeliads. There were few physiological studies with CAM seedlings in Mexico and few studies using stable isotopes of water and carbon of CAM plants in the field. More field and laboratory studies of physiological responses and plasticity of CAM plants to multiple stress factors are required to model plant responses to global climate change. In general, more physiological studies are essential for all CAM species and for species of the genus Clusia, with C3-CAM and CAM members, which can become ecologically important under some climate change scenarios."
