The efficient management of water resources is currently an environmental priority at multiple scales, from global to local. In the 21st century, ensuring sustainable access to water represents not only a technical challenge but also an ethical and social commitment, especially in urban contexts where pressure on drinking water sources has intensified due to population growth, urbanization, and climate change. In this context, rainwater harvesting is emerging as a technically and environmentally viable alternative that reduces dependence on conventional water supply systems. Particularly in areas with high rainfall, such as the municipality of Apía, in the department of Risaralda (Colombia), this option represents an opportunity to diversify water supply sources and reduce the use of drinking water, especially in activities that do not require it, such as cleaning, irrigation, or sanitation. This article presents a feasibility analysis for the implementation of a rainwater harvesting and utilization system in an institutional building in the municipality of Apía. The research focuses on evaluating the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of the project, in order to determine its real viability and potential replicability. The study hopes to provide a diagnostic basis that will allow the institution to make informed decisions, in addition to proposing alternatives that contribute to the water sustainability of the area.
Comparación de estándares de potabilización: PTAP TIBITOC (Colombia) vs. PTAP FEDERICO GUARDIA CONTE (panamá)
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-25) Triana Vera, Jeisson Giovanni; Mesa Garcia, Daniel Fernando; Beltran Beltran, Diana Maria; Universidad Santo Tomas
Water is an essential resource for life itself and for the development of different daily human activities. This water resource requires an effective purification and distribution process that guarantees its quality and safety in terms of health and supply before being available for human use and consumption. Through the different existing purification processes and the technologies implemented in them, the complete eradication of physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants harmful to human health is carried out, which guarantees the beneficiary communities the supply of drinking water with quality standards governed by the regulations that regulate water purification in each country. These national regulations applied in Colombia and Panama are independent and autonomous, however, there are international regulations governed by the WHO that regulate parameters and aspects of purification at a global level. In this research work, a comparison is made between two drinking water treatment plants of great importance in terms of population supply and implementation of efficient technologies within their processes, one of them is the Tibitoc WWTP located in Colombia and the other is the Federico Guardia Conte WWTP located in Panama, this comparison from an international perspective allows to analyze both systems, contributing significantly at an investigative level in an analysis that allows to identify proposals for technological and sustainable development that may be useful to improve the purification processes of the two WWTPs that are the object of this research, thus protecting within the two countries the fundamental right called public health
Revisión bibliográfica: condiciones técnicas e hidráulicas que justifiquen la conexión de los sistemas de protección contra incendios de las edificaciones del área urbana de Tunja con la red de acueducto
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-12) Fresno Barón, Carlos Andrés; Beltrán Beltrán, Diana Maria; Universidad Santo Tomas
The present study arises from the discrepancy found between some Colombian technical standards that indicate the possibility of using the aqueduct system as a direct and reliable source for the water supply of fire protection systems (SPCI) in buildings and other regulations governing water systems, which do not allow such connection. In the United States, where Colombian construction professionals have adopted most good practices, prescriptive design requirements and knowledge acquisition through research conducted by organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Factory Mutual Global (FM Global) among others, this type of connection is a viable practice in its regulations, which facilitates the protection of buildings, however, in Colombia not only does not carry out this type of connection, but there is no known research or case study on it, the reasons for this study, which aims to analyse by means of a literature review, the technical and hydraulic conditions which justify the connection of fire protection systems in buildings to the aqueduct network and pave the way for further case studies, starting with Tunja.
Aplicación De Herramientas SIG Para la Localización Óptima De Rellenos Sanitarios En Colombia Conforme al Decreto 838 De 2005: Estudio De Caso Municipio De PuertoBoyacá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-22) Gonzalez Rodriguez, Maria Paula; Mejia Gonzalez, Paula Valentina; Rojas Gamba, Nestor Ivan; Universidad Santo Tomas
The proper management of municipal solid waste represents a critical challenge for local governments in Colombia, especially after events such as the closure of the El Marañal landfill in 2015 in the municipality of Puerto Boyacá, due to structural and environmental failures that resulted in a final disposal crisis. Faced with this situation, the need to locate a new landfill site according to technical, environmental and legal criteria has arisen. This article presents the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools for the optimal location of a sanitary landfill in the municipality, in compliance with “Decreto 838 de 2005, Colombia”. A multi-criteria approach that integrates variables such as slope, land use, water bodies, road network and exclusion areas is used, allowing a rigorous and objective spatial evaluation. The results offer a technical alternative for informed and sustainable decision making in solid waste management in complex municipal contexts such as Puerto Boyacá.
Gestión de la construcción de generadores eólicos en Brasil y su aplicabilidad en Colombia, frente a la transición energética del país
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-14) Gómez Lancheros, David; Acosta Castellanos, Pedro; Universidad Santo Tómas
In recent years, the energy transition has become a major development issue in several Latin American countries, particularly in those regions experiencing a significant impact of climate change and their dependence on non-renewable energies. In the world, the use of primary energy sources such as fossil fuels stands at 85.5%, compared with values such as nuclear and hydroelectric power generation. Considering that Colombia is still a country with very low participation in the application of renewable energies, where wind energy precedes with 0.1%, compared to a requirement especially in regions where it is feasible to implement these projects (Di Terlizzi et al., 2021). In this research, the collection of information based on sustainable project construction management focused mainly on the implementation of wind generators of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, supports how to apply an efficiency analysis, in this branch, it is possible to integrate a sustainable management model that meets all the parameters that may influence the development of these projects.

This study presents a comparative analysis of the water treatment processes at the Chilibre Plant in Panama and the Tibitoc Plant in Colombia. Using a technical-operational methodology, the research evaluates key aspects such as water intake, treatment, distribution, technologies used, regulatory frameworks, and environmental sustainability. The study identifies strengths and weaknesses in each plant, emphasizing the need to adapt solutions to local contexts. The findings suggest that technical comparisons can support replicable improvements, strengthen water resource management, and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.
Systematic review of hydrodynamic models used in flooding simulation under Climate Change scenarios
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-13) Alfonso Gómez, Laura Valentina; Caro Camargo, Carlos Andrés
The present research focuses on a systematic review of Hydrodynamic Models used during the fluvial, pluvial and coastal flood simulation under climate change scenarios worldwide. Research selection and retrieval criteria were defined, taking into account the thematic focus, which were critically evaluated. The selection of hydrodynamic models for flood modeling depends on key aspects such as, environmental and climatic conditions, behavior of variables in water bodies, and new parameters are included, which become key factor during the modeling. HEC-RAS and MIKEFLOOD are among the most widely used models, due to their capacity and efficiency in flood modeling and reflect accurate results. However, other models are used, which despite not being recognized, they have modeling capabilities and exhibit a solid vision about the coastal, pluvial and fluvial floods under the near future. They are the basis for decision making associated with climate adaptation and risk prevention. It is the first review that covers this horizon in flood hydrodynamic modelling, since there is no evidence of documentary exploration of the subject.
