Convención y feria Anual de la "National Ground Water Association" , Nasville, Tennesse. USA Diciembre 03-06/2013

Del 03 al 06 de diciembre del presente año se llevará a cabo en la ciudad de Nasville, en el estado de Tennesse en los Estados Unidos de NorteAmérica la feria y convención anual sobre aguas subterráneas mas grande y diversa del mundo, organizada por la National Ground Water Association ( NGWA, por sus siglas en inglés), www.ngwa.org. Como todos los años, y con el patroicinio de la empresa privada, se inaugurará la charla: McElliney que esté año estará a cargo del Dr. Carlos Molano,ingeniero e hidrogeólogo Colombiano.

La presentación del Ing. Carlos Molano versará sobre el uso de hojas de calculo en las aguas subterráneas como un medio eficiente y practico para la resolución de problemas simples y complejos de flujo, contaminación y ambientales. En el sitio web de la NGWA se puede encontarr mas información. -Carlos E. Molano, PE, has 30 years of experience in groundwater engineering and environmental hydrogeology. Cofounder and president of Hidrogeocol (formerly Hidrogeología Colombiana Ltd.) with headquarters in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama, he is also a professor of groundwater flow and pollution in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Los Andes University in Bogota. During the 1980s, Molano was a pioneer in groundwater modeling and electrical resistivity tomography. He brought to his country of Colombia the first hollow-stem auger rig and direct-push technology equipment. He developed the first operational artificial recharge project, along with the first groundwater monitoring and remediation solutions using modern technologies. In 2012, Molano received the Distinguished Latin-American Hydrogeologist Award from the Latin American Association for Groundwater Development. His colleagues describe him as “an engineer, an outstanding hydrologist, an enthusiastic supporter of new ideas, a heroic field environmental professional in spite of political and economical adversity, a poet and a philosopher of nature.” An NGWA member since 1981, Molano’s passion for developing techniques for teaching groundwater, both to students and practitioners, led him to develop this lecture on groundwater spreadsheets. He also developed a short course on this subject, which is well known in Latin America. Molano holds an M.S. in civil engineering from Los Andes University in Bogota, Colombia, and an M.S. in engineering hydrology from the International Institute for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering in Delft, Holland. Groundwater Spreadsheets: Efficient and Practical Resource for Solving Simple and Complex Flow, Pollution, and Environmental Problems Attend Carlos E. Molano’s lecture and discover how you can use spreadsheets—in simple form without any programming or complex mathematics—to solve a wide range of groundwater problems. Whether you’re a water well contractor, groundwater scientist, administrator, consultant, ecologist, environmental engineer, water resource planner, or student, you will benefit from learning how to apply “classic” hydrogeology concepts to “modern” hydrogeology concepts such as climate change, global warming, ecohydrology, sustainability, environmental risk assessment, and remediation, through the use of the spreadsheets presented. While various groundwater applications are presented mainly for Latin America (from pre-Columbus and pre-Inca times to current times where very often there is a lack of data and other resources),they can also be used all over the world to learn how some cost-effective solutions may be applied for many other situations. Groundwater spreadsheet topics include, but are not limited to: Pumping and slug tests, step drawdown and intermittent tests Analytical and numerical solutions for groundwater flow and pollution problems Delineation of capture zones, forward and inverse particle tracking for groundwater contamination Hydro-geochemical analysis Earth resistivity soundings interpretation Land subsidence Flow system analysis and impact of climate change in groundwater resources. http://www.ngwa.org/Foundation/mcellhiney/Pages/Future-McEllhiney-Lecturer.aspx
