This article presents a geometric and surface diagnosis of the soccer field, athletics track and long-jump area at the Universidad Santo Tomás (USTA) campus in Bogotá, using photogrammetry from an Autel EVO II Pro RTK V2 UAS, without using its RTK module. A total of 477 images were captured at 30 m above ground (GSD ≈ 0.8 cm/px), processed in Pix4Dmatic and analyzed in Pix4Dcloud to obtain an orthomosaic, a digital surface model (DSM) and a digital terrain model (DTM). Measurements were compared with the IFAB Laws of the Game and World Athletics regulations, within the scope of a diagnosis for non-certified training use. Of 20 elements assessed, 5 comply, 5 do not comply and 10 require field verification. Key nonconformities include the penalty area deficit (−13.8 %) and goal area deficit (up to −5.0 %); the track length measured on the line between lanes 1 and 2 (405.79 m) is equivalent to ≈ 400 m on the regulatory measurement line; slopes (e.g., 1.34 % vs. 1 % on the track and 0.37 % vs. 0.1 % on the jump runway) remain to be verified by levelling, since the model was georeferenced without RTK or GCPs; in addition, 1,639 m² of surface damage were digitized on the track. Since no checkpoints were measured, absolute accuracy could not be quantified and is reported as a limitation. The results support a prioritized intervention matrix.

Metodología de Selección y Diseño Técnico de Sistemas Urbanos de Drenaje Sostenible (SUDS)
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-22) Cano Ramirez, Noe Sebastián; Parada Pérez, Germán Oswaldo; Gil Alvarado, Laura Yaneth; Suárez Castillo, Claudia Rocío; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001631852; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=z7fxDkQAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2726-436X
This research develops a methodology for the selection and pre-design of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) applied to three public spaces in Tunja: Los Muiscas Park (1.27 ha), Las Quintas Park (1.94 ha), and Pinzón Park (0.56 ha). Hydrological, hydraulic, and spatial conditions were characterized using contributing areas, land cover, slope, hydraulic length, and time of concentration. Peak runoff was estimated with the Rational Method and the Kirpich equation, while the treatment volume was determined independently by applying a 10 mm treatment depth to the effective impervious area. A multicriteria matrix supported technology selection, followed by hydraulic pre-design of rain gardens, vegetated swales, permeable pavements, and stormwater tree pits. The results defined three-technology combinations for each park and showed, under the adopted assumptions, compatibility between storage capacity and assigned treatment volumes. Sensitivity analysis using treatment depths of 12.5 and 15 mm showed the lowest capacity-to-required-volume relationship for Los Muiscas under the 15 mm scenario. The study is conceptual and requires infiltration tests, geotechnical characterization, and detailed engineering studies before implementation. The proposed contribution is a partial source-control measure rather than an integral control of urban runoff.

Análisis de la Susceptibilidad del Recurso Hídrico en la Serranía de las Quinchas, por Efecto del Cambio de Cobertura de la Tierra
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-22) Páez Arias, Erika Juliana; Acosta Castellanos, Pedro Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000723916; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=eOx43BoAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1010-7210
This study analyzes the susceptibility of water resources in the Serranía de las Quinchas Natural Park—located in Colombia's Eastern Cordillera—based on land cover and land-use changes between 2000 and 2020. Its objective is to evaluate how these transformations alter the watershed's hydrological behavior, modifying processes such as infiltration, retention, and surface runoff generation. Land cover was analyzed across three main sub-watersheds (each exceeding 10 km² in area) within the mountain range. A multi-temporal analysis was conducted using GIS and the SCS-CN method, estimating variables for infiltration, retention, runoff, and discharge rates for return periods of 10, 15, 20, 50, and 100 years. The results showed that sub-watersheds 1 and 2 maintained stable behavior, exhibiting low Curve Number (CN) values due to the predominance of forest land use. In contrast, sub-watershed 3 underwent the most significant changes, reaching its peak CN value in 2005 as a result of land cover transformations and increased conversion of land to pasture. Discharge estimates were incomplete in some scenarios because effective precipitation did not exceed initial abstraction (Pe < Ia). This behavior highlights the dependence of hydrological dynamics on land cover.
