The NTS team: Maritza, Joe, Rafa, and Edris range in conjunction with department employees, Sales, and Marketing Project: Wanda and Mayrelis worked hard to prepare the presentation and proposed that he would provide the representative Cristalia . Was a success, Gelitza Cruz was very interested in our project and agreed to contact to show you what our needs are and what kind of sponsorship we will need these to begin project implementation PLANET GUARDIANS.

Dynamic Model - ArcGIS Explorer





Analysis of a watershed in Puerto Rico would take into account the following layers of GIS information for analysis:
a) weather data including seasonal and station densities, both extreme and average
b) road map
c) maps of hydrography
d) hydrological data (inventory of water, surface runoff, river network);
e) lists of species for the fauna and flora, land and water, its distribution, life histories, economically important species, rare species and unique or that are in danger of extinction;
f) Protected areas near the place
g) Population density
h) Flood Map
i) ecosystems;
j) Soil maps (distribution, nutrients, toxic minerals);
k) Anthropological studies;
l) Sources of pollution past, present and future can do so by searching or a tour of the area using GPS.
m) Location and description of existing environmental problems, location of critical areas
n) existing demand for natural resources, especially water resources needed for the functioning of urban ecosystems, rural and natural
o) water sampling data for the mouth of the river beaches.




Create the following maps:

a) Buffer Zones vs. actual construction map or aerial photos.
b) Population density vs. amount of available water resources.
c) Analysis of potential areas for reforestation preventing contamination of the canal.
d) Map of places that could be designated as protected reserves or for the benefit of all.
e) Map of the hot spots and dividing by their effect (minimum, medium, severe) for example.
f) Map of risk of contamination and divide as acute or chronic.

Wednesday June 2, 2010 - Field Trip to Río Piedras

Field Trip to Caño Martin Peña and the Rio Piedras





In this day my partner and myself Gamaliel Carmona will go to Rio Piedras, specifically near the Botanical Gardens and the Caño Martin Peña to make a test mustreo. Specifically, we collect data in different places. Among the tasks our part in this first voyage is to raise the levels of temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and nitrates. Use a GPS to collect the exact location of the samples can then make a geographic analysis creating dynamic models in ArcGIS Explorer.
