Water, Sanitation & Environment
Vol. 19 No. 1 (2024)La imagen muestra a estudiantes de la maestría en recursos hidráulicos de la ERIS, durante la ejecución de una práctica de campo en el municipio de Villa Canales, Guatemala, enfocada en el aforo de caudales y medición de sedimentos en un río. El monitoreo de caudales y sedimentos es de gran importancia en la gestión integrada del recurso hídrico, ya que proporciona información clave para el diseño de obras hidráulicas, planificación del uso sostenible del agua y la prevención de impactos asociados a la erosión y sedimentación en los cuerpos de agua. Esta actividad, realizada con el apoyo del Instituto nacional de Electrificación (INDE), constituye un componente esencial en la formación de profesionales, al permitir la aplicación de conocimientos teóricos en escenarios reales.

Agua, Saneamiento & Ambiente
Vol. 18 No. 2 (2023)The photograph was taken in June 2023 in the Municipality of Nentón, in the northwest of Huehuetenango, it corresponds to the area adjacent to one of the Candelaria cenotes, it is basically an interaction between water, trees and fauna (ducks), a perfect complementarity. It is an area with little human activity showing a totally crystalline wetland, it emphasizes that sanitation is totally linked to the health of nature, if humans do not disturb it, there is no erosion, there are no pollutants and the ecosystems are preserved.
