  • Determinación De La Recarga Con Isótopos Ambientales En Los Acuíferos De Santa Fe De Antioquia
    BOLETÍN DE CIENCIAS DE LA TIERRA ­ Número 24, Noviembre de 2008 ­ Medellín ­ ISSN 0120 ­ 3630 DETERMINACIÓN DE LA RECARGA CON ISÓTOPOS AMBIENTALES EN LOS ACUÍFEROS DE SANTA FE DE ANTIOQUIA María Victoria Vélez O. & Remberto Luis Rhenals G. Escuela de Geociencias y Medio Ambiente, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín. [email protected] Recibido para evaluación: 08 de Octubre de 2008 / Aceptación: 04 de Noviembre de 2008 / Recibida versión final: 20 de Noviembre de 2008 RESUMEN La zona del Occidente antioqueño, conformada por los municipios de Santa Fé de Antioquia, Sopetrán, San Jerónimo, Olaya y Liborina, es una de las principales zonas turísticas del departamento de Antioquia. Debido a esto, existe una importante demanda de agua que se ha incrementado con el aumento de la actividad turística propiciada por la construcción del proyecto «Conexión Vial entre los valles de Aburra y del Río Cauca». A pesar que esta zona posee varias fuentes hídricas superficiales, estas no abastecen completamente las necesidades del recurso hídrico ya que están contaminadas por lixiviados y residuos de la actividad agrícola, pecuaria y humana. Esto convierte el agua subterránea en una importante fuente de agua adicional y una gran alternativa para satisfacer la creciente demanda. La Universidad Nacional (2004) hizo un trabajo preliminar donde se identificaron zonas acuíferas con buen potencial para el abastecimiento de agua potable. Para la construcción de un modelo hidrogeológico, condición necesaria para el manejo y aprovechamiento óptimo del agua subterránea, se hace necesario además identificar las zonas de recarga de los acuíferos. Una de las herramientas más ampliamente usadas para este fin son los isótopos ambientales deuterio, H 2 y O 18 .Se presentan en este trabajo los resultados de la utilización de estos isótopos para determinar las zonas de recarga de los acuíferos del Occidente antioqueño.

  • Recommendation of Native Species for the Reforestation of Degraded Land Using Live Staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia)
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Department of Land, Environment Agriculture and Forestry Second Cycle Degree (MSc) in Forest Science Recommendation of native species for the reforestation of degraded land using live staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia) Supervisor Prof. Lorenzo Marini Co-supervisor Prof. Jaime Polanía Vorenberg Submitted by Alicia Pardo Moy Student N. 1218558 2019/2020 Summary Although Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, it has many degraded areas due to agricultural and mining practices that have been carried out in recent decades. The high Andean forests are especially vulnerable to this type of soil erosion. The corporate purpose of ‘Reforestadora El Guásimo S.A.S.’ is to use wood from its plantations, but it also follows the parameters of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). For this reason, it carries out reforestation activities and programs and, very particularly, it is interested in carrying out ecological restoration processes in some critical sites. The study area is located between 2000 and 2750 masl and is considered a low Andean humid forest (bmh-MB). The average annual precipitation rate is 2057 mm and the average temperature is around 11 ºC. The soil has a sandy loam texture with low pH, which limits the amount of nutrients it can absorb. FAO (2014) suggests that around 10 genera are enough for a proper restoration. After a bibliographic revision, the genera chosen were Alchornea, Billia, Ficus, Inga, Meriania, Miconia, Ocotea, Protium, Prunus, Psidium, Symplocos, Tibouchina, and Weinmannia. Two inventories from 2013 and 2019, helped to determine different biodiversity indexes to check the survival of different species and to suggest the adequate characteristics of the individuals for a successful vegetative stakes reforestation.

  • La Fallida Colonización De Urabá En El Siglo XIX the Unsuccessful Colonization of Urabá in the Nineteenth Century
    La fallida colonización de Urabá en el siglo XIX The Unsuccessful Colonization of Urabá in the Nineteenth Century Por Luis Fernando Múnera López1 Resumen: en este texto se exponen los esfuerzos conjuntos que se hicieron en el afán de construir para el Estado Soberano de Antioquia una salida al mar por el Urabá durante el siglo XIX; esfuerzos que desafortunadamente y por múltiples razones fueron fallidos. La ruta al mar, a su paso, requería la construcción de caminos y asentamientos, además de la adjudicación de terrenos por parte de la Nación y por ende la fijación de impuestos. Quien más empeño puso en la realización de esta empresa fue el militar Marceliano Vélez, y quien más lamentó su no realización fue el ingeniero don Juan Henrique White, pues era consciente de lo que esto implicaba para la región: el desaprovechamiento de vastos territorios con gran calidad de suelos y la emigración innecesaria de los colonos. Palabras clave: Estado Soberano de Antioquia, siglo XIX, Urabá, Juan Henrique White, Marceliano Vélez, Occidente de Antioquia. Abstract: In this text it is presented the joint efforts that were made in order to build to the Antioquia State an outlet to the sea through the Urabá during the Nineteenth Century. Unfortunately, and for many reasons, those efforts were unsuccessful. The route to the sea, in its path, required road and settlements constructions, moreover, it needed the land adjudication by the National Government, and therefore the imposition of taxes. The militar Marceliano Vélez was who most insisted on achieving this goal, and the engineer Mr. Juan Henrique White was who most regretted that this project it was not carried out, because he was aware of the implication of this fact to the region: Wasting vast territories with good-quality soil and the unnecessary migration of settlers.

Sr. Presidente Iván Duque Márquez Sr. Fiscal General Francisco Barbosa Delgado President of the Republic of Colombia Attorney General of Colombia [email protected] [email protected] July 1, 2021 Dear Sirs: We are alarmed at the number of social leaders being assassinated across Colombia. Diana María Jaramillo Henao, of Bello, Antioquia Department, became one of the latest victims on June 20. Diana Jaramillo (age 49) was dedicated to community work in the 5 Estrellas neighborhood of La Gabriela, municipality of Bello in Antioquia. She was murdered along with two other people. On June 20, the Metropolitan Police of Medellín reported the discovery of three bodies put in bags and sealed with tape in the municipality of Copacabana and along the North Highway in Bello, north of the Aburrá Valley. The other two were a married couple: Wilson Alfonso Zapata Guisao (age 51) and Nubia Isleny Pérez Cárdenas (age 50). As of June 26, there have been seven bodies found in bags and left on public roads, some of them are dismembered. The high number of social leaders being assassinated in Antioquia is part of a disturbing trend across Colombia. INDEPAZ (Institute of Studies for Development and Peace) asserts that so far this year, at least 80 social leaders have been killed, bringing the total to 1,196 since the signing of the November 2016 Peace Accords between the Colombian government and the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia).

Its initial prosperity was due to agriculture and cattle-raising carried out in the valley itself and sold to the surrounding gold mining fields. The in- vestment of these monies in coffee plantations and industry boosted the city development, accelerated urban growth, and since the middle of twentieth century, relegated food production to surrounding regions, which are also responsible for almost the totality of natural resource supply: water, electricity, food, building and industrial raw materials. Among the problems which will have to be solved in order to reach a sustainable development are relocation of population liv- ing in areas exposed to natural risks, improvement of road communications with surrounding regions and of internal public transportation and pollution control.
