RESEARCH Lines
Water Resources
This research area focuses on the study of climate and surface and groundwater hydrology, analyzing the effects of land use and land cover on variables related to water regulation and supply. Additionally, it addresses water resource management by considering environmental, sociocultural, regulatory, technological, and economic factors that are essential for land-use planning centered on water resources.
- Hydrogeology
- Hydrology and Climate
- Integrated Water Resources Management
- Water Quality Modeling
Pollution Prevention and Control
This research area focuses on controlling the generation of solid and liquid waste and implementing technologies for waste treatment and valorization under a circular economy approach. These technologies have applications in the generation and use of bioproducts in agricultural activities.
- Wastewater Treatment
- Solid Waste Management
- Environmental Sanitation
Water Supply
This research area focuses on the analysis of urban and rural water supply systems, considering the technical and non-technical aspects required to implement sustainable solutions. Additionally, it addresses alternative water supply sources, such as rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse.
- Water Quality
- Multiple Uses
- Efficient Use
- Service Management
- Alternative Water Supply Sources
