Resumen
El proyecto tenía como objetivo identificar los requerimientos necesarios para el desarrollo de una calculadora de huella hídrica que permitiera medir el impacto de las empresas que habían estado produciendo tela sintética en el río Magdalena, Colombia. La producción de tela sintética había requerido un alto consumo de agua y energía, lo que había afectado la calidad del agua y la biodiversidad en la región cercana a Barranquilla, a orillas del río Magdalena. En el proceso de producción de tela sintética, el consumo excesivo de agua y energía había sido un tema crítico, con consecuencias negativas para el entorno ambiental. Por lo tanto, el proyecto se había centrado en abordar esta preocupación desarrollando una herramienta específica: una calculadora de huella hídrica. Esta calculadora, que medía el consumo de agua y su impacto en el medio ambiente, había sido considerada una solución clave. El enfoque del proyecto había sido claro: al identificar los recursos consumidos durante el proceso de producción de tela sintética y medir su impacto ambiental, se podrían tomar medidas efectivas para reducir dicho impacto. La calculadora de huella hídrica propuesta había sido diseñada para ayudar a las empresas en la región a evaluar su contribución al problema y a implementar estrategias que minimizaran su impacto ambiental. En resumen, el proyecto había tenido como finalidad enfrentar los desafíos relacionados con la producción de tela sintética en Colombia, en especial en el área de Barranquilla junto al río Magdalena. Esto había sido logrado mediante el desarrollo de una calculadora de huella hídrica, una herramienta esencial para medir y cuantificar el impacto ambiental. La calculadora había proporcionado información valiosa sobre los recursos involucrados en el proceso productivo y había facilitado la toma de decisiones en la implementación de medidas de reducción del impacto ambiental.
The objective of the project was to identify the necessary requirements for the development of a water footprint calculator that would allow measuring the impact of companies that had been producing synthetic fabric in the Magdalena River, Colombia. Synthetic fabric production had required high water and energy consumption, which had affected water quality and biodiversity in the region near Barranquilla, on the banks of the Magdalena River. In the synthetic fabric production process, excessive water and energy consumption had been a critical issue, with negative consequences for the environment. Therefore, the project had focused on addressing this concern by developing a specific tool: a water footprint calculator. This calculator, which measured water consumption and its impact on the environment, had been considered a key solution. The focus of the project had been clear: by identifying the resources consumed during the synthetic fabric production process and measuring their environmental impact, effective measures could be taken to reduce that impact. The proposed water footprint calculator had been designed to help companies in the region assess their contribution to the problem and implement strategies that would minimize their environmental impact. In short, the project had been aimed at meeting the challenges related to the production of synthetic fabric in Colombia, especially in the Barranquilla area along the Magdalena River. This had been achieved through the development of a water footprint calculator, an essential tool for measuring and quantifying environmental impact. The calculator had provided valuable information on the resources involved in the production process and had facilitated decision-making in the implementation of measures to reduce environmental impact.
