Cuidemos el alcantarillado y tengamos en
cuenta las siguientes recomendaciones en casa

Acueducto de Bogotá enfrenta invierno 2010



* Los residuos arrojados al sanitario tapan su alcantarilla.



* No bote aceite ni residuos de comidas por el sifón del lavaplatos.



* Entregue los escombros directamente a los consorcios de aseo, no los arroje en andenes o canales de aguas lluvias.



* Colabore sacando la basura en los horarios establecidos y dejándola dispuesta en bolsas bien cerradas.



El acueducto de Bogotá insiste en el llamado a los ciudadanos para hacer una buena disposición de las basuras y proteger el sistema de alcantarillado para evitar encharcamientos de las vías y emergencias ante la llegada de las lluvias.



Un ejemplo de lo que no se debe hacer se registro en la calle 26 donde se encontraron grandes piedras y escombros obstruyendo el alcantarillado. Observe también, desde la Estación Elevadora de Fontibón, por qué no debemos botar objetos por el sanitario o aceite por el lavaplatos.



De la misma manera, solicita a los contratistas que desarrollan obras viales y construcciones en la ciudad que hagan un buen manejo de materiales y escombros durante la ejecución de los trabajos de tal forma que no se afecte el alcantarillado.



Recomendaciones para tener en cuenta en casa



EN SÓTANOS

Prestar atención al mantenimiento de los sistemas de bombeo de los sótanos.



EN CANALES Y BAJANTES

(Tubos de las fachadas que permiten el desagüe normal de las cubiertas): Éstos deben permanecer libres de basuras y objetos sólidos.



EN LAS CAJAS DE INSPECCIÓN

(Cajas recolectoras de aguas sanitarias y lluvias). Los usuarios tienen la responsabilidad de verificar su correcto funcionamiento e impedir que se llenen de basuras que permitan el normal drenaje. Límpiela periódicamente para evitar reflujos de aguas en su vivienda.



CON TEJADOS Y CUBIERTAS

Revise el estado de las tejas y marquesinas: Un tejado en mal estado puede caerse por efecto de la lluvia, granizo o desprenderse por los vientos fuertes. Asegúrelas bien.



EN PATIOS

Mantenga los patios limpios y libres de objetos que tapen los sifones.

Evite que las hojas y ramas que se desprenden con las lluvias lleguen a los sifones.

Si en su casa hay árboles, corte las ramas que estén sobre el techo de la misma

Los sifones deben permanecer siempre con tapas. No barra en dirección a ellos.



EN BAÑOS

Los preservativos, toallas higiénicas y papel higiénico arrojados a los sanitarios taponan las tuberías internas. Deposítelos en la cesta o caneca del baño.

Evite que se acumule cabello en sifones de la ducha o residuos de la afeitada en los lavamanos.



EN LA COCINA

Por el sifón del lavaplatos se pueden ir sobrantes de comida que taponan las tuberías.

Limpie los sobrantes de los platos y deposítelos en la basura.

No arroje el aceite de cocina o grasa al lavaplatos pues éstos se pueden compactar en las redes.

Utilice rejillas que impidan el paso de desechos sólidos.



CON LA BASURA

Colabore sacando la basura en los horarios establecidos y dejándola dispuesta en bolsas bien cerradas.

Evite la acumulación de basura y otros residuos en los sumideros de alcantarillado pluvial o cerca de las alcantarillas.



FRENTE A LA CASA

El alcantarillado de la ciudad recoge las aguas lluvias a través de sumideros instalados en las calles. No los tapone con escombros, vehículos u objetos que les impidan recolectar normalmente el agua. Contribuya para disminuir los encharcamientos en la ciudad.

The Water

Water is our lifeline that bathes us and feeds us. In ancient cultures water represented the very essence of life. The Romans were the first to pipe water into their growing cities, especially with their aqueducts. They also realized that sewage water could cause damage to their people, and needed to be removed from large areas of people.
Water has played a role not only in the history of countries, but in religion, mythology, and art. Water in many religions cleanses the soul through holy water. For example, the water at Lourdes, France is thought by many religions to be sacred water with healing powers. In Egyptian mythology, the Nu was the beginning of everything and represented water. It brought life to their people, but in drought, produced chaos.
Water has always been perceived as a gift from the gods as it rained from the heavens.
The water or hydrologic cycle explains interactions between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. The water or hydrologic cycle is a major driving force on our planet. Water is in constant motion, evaporating into the atmosphere from oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. When the atmosphere can no longer support the moisture within the clouds, we experience rain, snow, hail, or sleet. Some water is locked in the form of ice at the polar caps and in glaciers. Water melts in the spring, producing runoff, that percolates through the Earth as groundwater (subsurface) or makes its way back to the sea (surface). The oceans contain most of the water, but it is salt water which is unusable by most organisms. Only pure H2O (water) can interact with organisms.
The movement of the oceans also has a direct effect on the atmosphere. The atmosphere is that envelope of gas that keeps organisms living on this planet. Oceans and atmosphere interact to give us weather.
Water provides the Earth with the capacity of supporting life. An organism doesn’t have to be told how important water is to their existence. An amphibian knows to lay their eggs in water or else there will be no new born. Even flies know to lay their eggs in fresh water.
The only organism that doesn’t understand the importance of water is humans, especially in industrialized countries.

Abraham lincoln biography

Lincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin (now Larue) County, Ky. Indians had killed his grandfather, Lincoln wrote, "when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest" in 1786; this tragedy left his father, Thomas Lincoln, "a wandering laboring boy" who "grew up, literally without education." Thomas, nevertheless, became a skilled carpenter and purchased three farms in Kentucky before the Lincolns left the state. Little is known about Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Abraham had an older sister, Sarah, and a younger brother, Thomas, who died in infancy.
In 1816 the Lincolns moved to Indiana, "partly on account of slavery," Abraham recalled, "but chiefly on account of difficulty in land titles in Kentucky." Land ownership was more secure in Indiana because the Land Ordinance of 1785 provided for surveys by the federal government; moreover, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the area. Lincoln's parents belonged to a faction of the Baptist church that disapproved of slavery, and this affiliation may account for Abraham's later statement that he was "naturally anti-slavery" and could not remember when he "did not so think, and feel."
Indiana was a "wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods." The Lincolns' life near Little Pigeon Creek, in Perry (now Spencer) County, was not easy. Lincoln "was raised to farm work" and recalled life in this "unbroken forest" as a fight "with trees and logs and grubs." "There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education," Lincoln later recalled; he attended "some schools, so called," but for less than a year altogether. "Still, somehow," he remembered, "I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three; but that was all."
Lincoln's mother died in 1818, and the following year his father married a Kentucky widow, Sarah Bush Johnston. She "proved a good and kind mother." In later years Lincoln could fondly and poetically recall memories of his "childhood home." In 1828 he was able to make a flatboat trip to New Orleans. His sister died in childbirth the same year.
In 1830 the Lincolns left Indiana for Illinois. Abraham made a second flatboat trip to New Orleans, and in 1831 he left home for New Salem, in Sangamon County near Springfield. The separation may have been made easier by Lincoln's estrangement from his father, of whom he spoke little in his mature life. In New Salem, Lincoln tried various occupations and served briefly in the Black Hawk War (1832). This military interlude was uneventful except for the fact that he was elected captain of his volunteer company, a distinction that gave him "much satisfaction." It opened new avenues for his life.
SLAVERY
Lincoln "was losing interest in politics" when the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by Congress in 1854. This legislation opened lands previously closed to slavery to the possibility of its spread by local option (popular sovereignty); Lincoln viewed the provisions of the act as immoral. Although he was not an abolitionist and thought slavery unassailably protected by the Constitution in states where it already existed, Lincoln also thought that America's founders had put slavery on the way to "ultimate extinction" by preventing its spread to new territories. He saw this act, which had been sponsored by Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas, as a new and alarming development.
Lincoln vied for the U.S. Senate in 1855 but eventually threw his support to Lyman Trumbull. In 1856 he joined the newly formed Republican Party, and two years later he campaigned for the Senate against Douglas. In his speech at Springfield in acceptance of the Republican senatorial nomination (June 16, 1858) Lincoln suggested that Douglas, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, and Democratic presidents Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan had conspired to nationalize slavery. In the same speech he expressed the view that the nation would become either all slave or all free: "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
The underdog in the senatorial campaign, Lincoln wished to share Douglas's fame by appearing with him in debates. Douglas agreed to seven debates: in Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy, and Alton, Ill. Lincoln knew that Douglas--now fighting the Democratic Buchanan administration over the constitution to be adopted by Kansas--had alienated his Southern support; and he feared Douglas's new appeal to eastern Republicans now that Douglas was battling the South. Lincoln's strategy, therefore, was to stress the gulf of principle that separated Republican opposition to slavery as a moral wrong from the moral indifference of the Democrats, embodied in legislation allowing popular sovereignty to decide the fate of each territory. Douglas, Lincoln insisted, did not care whether slavery was "voted up or voted down." By his vigorous showing against the famous Douglas, Lincoln won the debates and his first considerable national fame. He did not win the Senate seat, however; the Illinois legislature, dominated by Democratic holdovers in the upper house, elected Douglas.
