I-Ohio State Institute for Sustainability iye yazisa intsebenziswano entsha kunye ne-Advanced Drinage Systems (ADS) eya kuxhasa uphando lolawulo lwamanzi, ukuphucula ukufunda kwabafundi kunye nokwenza iikhampasi zizinzileyo.
Inkampani, umthengisi weemveliso zokuhambisa amanzi kwiindawo zokuhlala, zorhwebo, ezolimo kunye neemarike zeziseko zophuhliso, inikezela ngeenkqubo ezimbini zolawulo lwamanzi emvula kwiSithili se-Innovation kwi-West Campus kunye nesipho semali sokuxhasa uphando kunye nokufundisa amathuba. izipho idlula $1 million.
"Le ntsebenziswano entsha kunye ne-ADS iya kuphucula kakhulu indlela i-Ohio State elawula ngayo amanzi emvula evela kuphuhliso olutsha kwiSithili se-Innovation," kusho uKate Bartter, umlawuli olawulayo weZiko loZinzo.
Ulawulo lwamanzi esitshi ngumba obalulekileyo wezoqoqosho kunye nokusingqongileyo kulwakhiwo olutsha kunye nophuhliso ngokutsha.Amanzi esiphango kwimimandla ephuhlileyo athwala izixa ezikhulu zezinto ezingcolisa amachibi, imilambo, kunye neelwandle; kaninzi ukuphakamisa izinga lokushisa lokufumana imizimba yamanzi angaphezulu, echaphazela kakubi ubomi basemanzini; kwaye ivalela ukugcwala kwamanzi aphantsi komhlaba ngokufunxa amanzi emvula emhlabeni.
Isixokelelwano solawulo sigcina amanzi esiphango aphuma kwizakhiwo, indledlana kunye neminye imiphezulu kuthotho lwamagumbi angaphantsi abamba ungcoliseko aze akhuphe kancinci amanzi kumjelo wedolophu ohambisa amanzi amdaka.
"Inkqubo ye-ADS iya kuphucula iinkonzo ze-ecosystem kwi-campus, enye yeenjongo ezizinzileyo ze-Ohio State," kusho uBartter.
Intsebenziswano ithatha ingqalelo kulawulo lwamanzi emvula ngexesha apho utshintsho lwemozulu luqhubela phambili ingxaki ngokunyusa kakhulu inani kunye nokuqina kweziganeko zesiqhwithi.Imimiselo yeSixeko kunye nelizwe ifuna uphuhliso olutsha lokulawula amanzi emvula avela kwiimvula ukuze aphephe ukuphuphuma kwimijelo edibeneyo kunye nezinye iinkqubo zamanzi emvula ezisasaza iibhaktheriya kunye nokunciphisa imisinga.
UMongameli we-ADS kunye ne-CEO uScott Barbour uthe imingeni ebangelwa kulawulo lwamanzi emvula yinkuthazo enamandla kwi-ADS.
“Ingqiqo yethu ngamanzi, nokuba kusezidolophini okanye ezilalini,” utshilo.
Le nkampani iceba ukuxhasa uphando kunye namathuba okufundisa asebenzisa ubuninzi beenkqubo ezimbini zamanzi emvula njengelabhoratri ephilayo yolawulo lwamanzi asezidolophini.Oku kuya kunceda i-Ohio State faculty, njengoNjingalwazi oNcedisayo kwiSebe lezoKutya, ezoLimo kunye nobuNjineli beBhayoloji (FABE) kunye nobuNjineli boLuntu, beNdalo kunye neGeodetic, kunye noRyan Winston, ilungu le-faculty engundoqo yeZiko lokuSungula.
“Uninzi lwabantu basezidolophini abacingi ngendawo apho amanzi abo avela okanye aya khona kuba uninzi lweziseko zophuhliso lufihlwe ngaphantsi komhlaba,” utshilo uWinston.” Ukufaka inkqubo ye-ADS kuthetha ukuba sinokuvula amathuba okuba abafundi bafunde ngendlela egcinakeleyo yokulawula amanzi ngaphandle kwegumbi lokufundela.
UWinston ungumcebisi we-faculty kwiqela le-capstone labafundi be-FABE abaza kuyila inkqubo yokuvuna amanzi emvula eya kukhupha amanzi agcinwe kwinkqubo ye-ADS kwaye iwasebenzisele ukunkcenkceshela komhlaba. Ingxelo yokugqibela yomfundi iya kunceda ukunika iyunivesiti ithuba lokuphinda isetyenziswe amanzi emvula kunye nokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi okusela.
"Ukusetyenziswa kweemveliso zethu zophando kunye nokufundisa kwi-campus e-Ohio State yenye yezona ndawo zinomdla kakhulu kwintsebenziswano," kusho uBrian King, umongameli oyintloko wentengiso, ulawulo lwemveliso kunye nokuzinza kwi-ADS. "Sivuyiswa ngokukhethekileyo ukuxhasa abafundi bobunjineli abavela kumaqela angabonakaliyo ngesipho sethu kwi-Faculty of Engineering Learning Community."
"Malunga nesibini kwisithathu sezinto ezisetyenziswa kwiimveliso ze-ADS ziphinda zisetyenziswe," yongeza iYunivesithi yase-King.Ohio State inikezela nge-single-stream recycling kwi-campus kwaye isanda kwandisa ukwamkelwa kwayo kwi-Type 5 yeplastiki (i-polypropylene) yezikhongozelo ze-yogurt kunye nezinye ukupakishwa. Njengenxalenye yesipho sayo, i-ADS iya kuba ngumxhasi omkhulu we-Right to Recycle yeyunivesithi.
“Okukhona kubhetele ukurisayikilishwa kwikhampasi, kokukhona kusetyenziswa izinto ezininzi kwiimveliso ze-ADS,” utshilo uKumkani.
Intsebenziswano yenzeke ngokuzibophelela okuqinileyo kolawulo lwe-Ohio kunye namaqela okucwangcisa ukwenza i-campus igcineke ngakumbi.IiNgcali zamanzi kunye neNkunkuma evela kwiZibonelelo zokuSebenza kunye noPhuhliso, kunye nenkxaso yobugcisa evela kwiqela layo loYilo kunye noKwakha kunye neYunivesithi ye-Landscape Architects, iholele ithuba.
KuBartter, ubudlelwane obutsha kunye ne-ADS buqaqambisa amandla amakhulu okudibanisa uphando, ukufunda kwabafundi kunye nokusebenza kwekhampasi.
“Ukuhlanganisa izinto ezingundoqo ze-Ohio State ezifana nesi sixa-mali sesithathu semfundo,” watsho.” Ibonisa ngokwenene indlela iYunivesithi enokuba negalelo ngayo kulwazi nokusetyenziswa kwezisombululo zethu zozinzo. Le ntsebenziswano ayizukwenza kuphela iikhampasi zethu ukuba zigcineke ngakumbi, kodwa iya kuvelisa iinzuzo zophando nokufundisa kwiminyaka ezayo .
