it was all night
the friend wants to start by doing some
food thanks to alternext
Flemish who understands guest at last
I was waiting
by the end of these years everyone has done all
the technical academic evidence business
etc
It lacked a fact, this challenge is that it knows
for me it was a motivation and just like
It was also, in a way, pretty at last.
inspiring thing for me to prepare is this
and the presentation will tell us how it went
said
the relationship between engineering and water
in the main perspective of the changes
expect that this can be achieved by

motivating and and so inspiring to
all of you at last as the ers of this
problem I’m going to present could not
also let me finally come back here this
magnificent anxiety

students and teachers with whom I
I have the opportunity to deal

inspiration for everything I’ve done in
the past 30 years if the movement

person
Good, I’ll tell you and drive there.

engineering
but anyway I think pro gol only the
movement wants to speak in a more
objective and concrete design of civil engineering
which is to say of that and in which is the
work in the last 30 years has been
the degree I took in 1989 as much
that’s what I left them that I left talking about
civil engineering has several areas of
knowledge
have oriented
only a certain area the facts of
civil society both deals with large

communication channels.

communication should be talking about the
knowledge territory planning
of water should be talking about issues
geotechnical engineering are all infrastructure
are the center of the earth the ground must
to be talking about hydraulics though
leave the last but this one is my
passion at the beginning of work
the last 30 years but in fact the
various aspects of civil engineering that
which increases the cold but there are several more
they all have one thing in common that
water and therefore is a problem that more
sooner or later these areas
areas of knowledge it would be good to have
be careful with them
Good also could not if it did not
a brief reference to the school a
work that port state college
is the country’s best engineering college
Finally there work in this field since 2001
started working on the street
panties in old college too much
Finally the particular area being
I would also like to show the
largest hydraulics laboratory

where the largest work is included

Well, that’s not what I came for
here talk and talk about water and the relationship
the water would regulate an aspect
particular climate change
I like to think of several of the
My lectures
I’m the flyer pounds both the framing
in water in the world
we’ll actually think there’s a lot of water
that there is a lot of water but anyway if
freshwater reserves was in a
small ball of 700km israel both
although the volume of water is
significant is only two and a half per
percent of this volume of water is water
sweet and two and a half percent
only 13% is in liquid form
that will end which we have
access and 10 3% is only 2% is that the
that exists on the surface we only have
direct access is this small percentage
August this is very important because
let’s do this later
Good, what is it, what problems are we
we want to directly serve this
water issue in the future the
world economy
now every year with victories over
systematic fiber
it is important to finally check that
has recurred in recent years
issue of water crises and
associated extremes and all events
associations to talk about
floods of the sexes floods
state of 77 act of respect to water
could say that the
recurrently in recent years concerns
that taking care of these events we would
occur more frequently in the future.
growing and this obviously has
consequences of a social and
economic they will be increasing
however, they are an aspect that should
worry for the future
when we look at water consumption in the
world and this severe enough
elucidative in terms of basin
we see there by stains
darker where does this consumption of
water is greater the problem copies and when
finally we should or when we compare
with such care and looking
new graphic excerpt the darker zones
Retire areas where in fact almost
consumed all the water yesterday
sporadically and water is still occurring
prius is that facing a period of
scarcity of this resource is both that and
something that occurs today and
would focus science
and I said investigation is very
concerned about what will happen in the
future what will happen from here in the year
2050 in 2006 however make predictions
for this was the longest time and
one of the main concerns today is
the issue of climate change
Finally to those who believe who do not believe
finally there is clear evidence of its
resistance and is directly impacting
the question of available water and
such as phenomena related to
water are passing in the future to a
very important institution to work
in this respect the amendments
that the panel
intergovernmental framework for
climatic and periodically makes its
predictions for the future with what this
go to council on the surface of the earth
we are talking in terms of the change
the average surface temperature of the
planet but also issues such as
evaluation over time in the future.
of rainfall or rainfall
properly and these forecasts are
made with several scenarios more
the most pessimistic and optimistic
more optimistic scenarios or more
pessimists has essentially to do with
the amount of emissions that we
we launched into the atmosphere both the
called the greenhouse effect.
the smaller that those
release and filter out a more
optimistic the higher the forecast
launch
worst pessimists will bring this scenario
so we look at graphic prestige
and your left has the most
optimistic
your right to the most
pessimists above we are talking about the
average surface temperature of the globe
and we can see that I want to
in the more optimistic scenario than in the
more pessimistic we can finally have
variations in the mean air temperature at
surface of the planet and paulo goulart
between 1 degree old and up to 4 5 6 degrees
centigrade and smoothly to have a
impact on the precipitation that will occur
on the planet
hum in terms of a more optimistic scenario
only in terms of the more pessimistic scenario
so we can easily identify
areas
anyway the orange is more
reddish where there will be a
significant reduction of the percentage of
precipitation occurring on average by
year
and also we will have onus at last more winged
without having this percentage will increase
both are the provisions in terms of
climate change are signed with
the average annual precipitation
finally, to a horizon is already 11
points in favor of it come out
Currently we have us but anyway.
someone coming in to take care of this
with this problem
good is this this scheme shows also
this possible variation in terms of
precipitation can occur on the globe
away to the horizon no longer want
close by 2050 and we have to verify
that to insert areas where there will be a
significant decrease in this
average annual rainfall but at last
there will also be other areas where
average annual precipitation will increase
Good, we ‘re obviously worried.
here with our rectangle with our
cant and EU finance and a path
means that in fact the
predictions will not be too famous for
the future
but it is also not a case of great
even if let’s say zoom in for
europe stayed again we are situated
also in terms of average precipitation
is the provisions for
future we have to verify that
South of Europe, in terms of
average annual and summer and will suffer
a significant reduction of this
annual precipitation so deep that
which I had previously shown but
finally doing a more detailed analysis
to europe and this will again

near the end of the century an area
more meaningful subjects seized
of the century
all these are simulations of models
mathematicians in which they use
information years prior decades
and on the basis of estimates of
emission of greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere and make medium-
long term for 2050 and 2000 and exit
this information is useful for the citizen
common citizen in general also for
decision- makers in order to be able to
to take action in this direction.
good will happen is that in fiber zones
finally the globe in particular the principle
was the one that most interests us where
short term
water shortages will indeed occur
it is estimated that in the coming years we are
talking about 2025 is a lot too today
about two thousand and five billion
people are affected by this phenomenon
lack of water
good but is it really that
happen at last to believe that
We believe there is some evidence there
many data and therefore this data
precisely illustrate this evidence
I bring here a very simple case that
shows us what has been the
average precipitation in portugal
finally in the last 30 years before the year
2000 and the etá are these columns is blue
Of course, but the neighborhoods are dark
represent happened last year we
fact we make a comparison that we can
tell
bye and a few months where the rainfall
is close to the 30-year average
is indicated more clearly at values
are completely different than
happened in that period 30 years
this is evidence of this change in
climatic terms in terms of
precipitation and probably result
climate change and
climate variability the movement
Good what are we doing in relation to
this issue of water management and how
is that we are not eventually
to continuously adapt this issue of
climate change good on the days of
today
we get the water we spend millions

we distribute water to people
consumers and then returned to such

finally replace cyclic form however
we are always millions more millions
euro in this whole process, which
in the future and in the light of these
weather
the volume of water that traffic consumed
has to be drastically reduced and a
way of this happening as it does
in some cities of the world
is that in this issue of the urban
