Masterbation With A Dolly



details that make a healthy crop

Monitoring water quality is vital to maintaining effectiveness in the application of pesticides.

is a time of full emergence of pests, and taking into account that in many areas crops are stressed by lack of rainfall, they become more susceptible to adversity.
Daniel Leiva, INTA Pergamino specialist, prepared a report with considerations for preserving the integrity of plant protection products and prevent loss of effectiveness in applications.
By a quick count, the report notes that an average of 3 sprays per lot and 30 million hectares of arable land, the number of hectares treated per year is 90 million. Both
pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are applied water transport vehicle, and therefore this medium should be mainly stable. In this way, it avoids the structural disintegration of the active ingredients or products that certain chemical reactions, inactivation.
report says, water, by itself, is an aggressive medium for the product in its original container can be stored for 36 months, however, when it comes into contact with water, its effectiveness is committed only for a few hours or days. Leiva said that
is water quality which compromises the effectiveness of the product and thus is essential request a complete physical and chemical analysis of water in a specialized laboratory.

are five parameters to see once we have the results of the study: The pH, which represents a measure of acidity or alkalinity of organic matter in suspension, causing phenomena of adsorption of clay particles also produce adsorption, the presence of ions, cations (calcium, magnesium, iron and aluminum) and anions (sulphates, carbonates, etc..) and hydrolysis, the molecules break caused by the kinetic effect of water.

To prevent water pollution and application to amend the results of the analysis, specialist emphasized the sampling . In this sense "precautions are taken the tap water supply to the tank and not the tank, flushing and washing bottle several times," he said.

also recommended using plastic containers that have contained pollutant some water and added, finally, the most favorable time and place of sampling.
"The most appropriate time of year is summer without previous rains, and consequently there will be greater saline concentration and higher pH values," he said.

"The water quality varies significantly over short distances, therefore it is recommended to analyze all available sources of a field and, moreover, the value of this analysis is inexpensive compared to the costs of pesticides, added.
Each pesticide has a pH optimum to maintain its active ingredient, however, on average, can be considered a pH value equal to 5, concluded the article by Lewis.

Pressure Points For Period



Santa Fe
This time the city was left without water for an outdated piece

The service was discontinued in many neighborhoods and in others was reduced. The problem was solved last night. The damage occurred about 100 meters from affecting the entire city in July.

In late July last year, all provincial capital was left without water due to a break generated in the so-called Takes Hernandez, at the eastern end of Avenida Alem. Less than six months later, yesterday there was a further supply disruption affecting many neighborhoods in the city of Santa Fe Others, with better luck, got the precious liquid dropper (never better applied the term).


The first official data showed that in the morning "detected a strong gush of water that was surging through the floor, originating in the raw water aqueduct Making Hernández. From that time began working on opening up the sector, so you can get to see the source of the leak. " Around 13, the operator could make out the pipes and wanted to start clearing land and water space to start repair.


Last night, in dialogue with UNO Journal, President of the Board of Water Santafesinas SA (Assa), Alberto Daniele, explained the origin of the problem and the steps followed in terms of the solution.


"The break was not in the pipeline, but in a meeting that linked two sections of pipe heads (each with five or six meters). It was a piece that was in vogue in the early 80's, but have problems because they are rigid cast, not flexible, "began to detail Daniele.


-repair, is it final?
"It's not final. May be similar circumstances to the repair last year. Tiny leaks usually occur. It finished in first place with the placement of the abrochadera and began to put into operation gradually, aqueduct pumps (I had to reach a standard of four). Then there will be that make a similar package that was made last year.


-Taking into account that they have used them together in the 80's, in other parts of the networks, "foresee new problems?

"Now we have to look the part, because there would be a failure. This does not mean they have to fail or yes, but the possibility of recurrence is always present and is from the early implementation of these networks. Always involve risk, so we study them. Obviously there are other boards of this type date from that time, because that was what was at that time. But I repeat that this does not imply that fail in all cases.


Finally, Daniele recommended to users, as they receive the service, let the water run a few seconds to see if some degree of turbidity, but insisted that "no health risks involved."

The age of the network
time ago, after registering the absolute cutting the water supply on 22 July, in dialogue with UNO Journal, Undersecretary of Water Resources of the City of Santa Fe, Felipe Franco, said that "the city has grown and there is a sector evolutionarily oldest, composed of the old Central, South and part neighborhood Candioti neighborhood, where is located the water treatment plant and that was the beginning of the network. "


He added after a fundamental fact: "About 50 percent of the network has more than 50 years." And this is key to note that in the capital of the province's drinking water system was begun in 1903 and opened two years later.


As for the materials used in the early years, the engineer Franco said, "were consistent and were approved by the National Waterworks, then evolved and there have been ups and downs in terms of costs and prices were also change the types of materials. "


That's when I started playing the PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and FRP (fiber reinforced plastic, glass), which also went by the stage of approval. "Today, the network extension using PVC pipes or a high density polyvinyl, supporting working conditions far more demanding and that the deposits as deterioration with the steel-like we have in the area SUR is different, "said municipal official.


also stressed that "the thermal variability of the City of Santa Fe greatly influences contraction and expansion of materials, mainly in the meeting with the special pieces that are mostly of bronze, the oldest are steel, which have the biggest problem the availability to open and close. "

Ersep Schiaretti asked to consider a further fine for Water

The governor said the presence of algae in the San Roque no excuse for not ensuring the aroma and taste of drinking water

Governor Juan Schiaretti surprised yesterday to the dealership asking hard questions of drinking water in the city of Córdoba, who was blamed for not delivering water under optimum conditions. "What I know is that the concessionaire Aguas Cordoba has to ensure not only that water is drinkable, but the smell and taste, and has no excuse for not ensuring that," questioned during a ceremony in which microcredit handed vulnerable families to repair their homes.

Without saying a word about the controversial move of the Government House and the demolition of New Cordoba The governor sought to deflect attention to other sensitive issue for the public: water odor, taste and even ugly copper color in some neighborhoods of the city for a few days.

said he asked the Secretary of Water Resources, Louis Salamone, which operates against Ersep, organ of the contract of concession, "to put the fine that may be required.

Yesterday afternoon, Salamone Ersep sent the note with the public commission that the governor asked. "I urge the Ersep to advance more rapidly than it is doing and to evaluate why you are not meeting our goal" said. And he reiterated that it is not a drinking problem, "but smell, taste and turbidity in some cases."

spokeswoman concessionaire Aguas Cordoba, Marcela Davila, said the company will not respond to the governor said.

deadlines. Jorge Saravia, director at the Ersep, Salamone received the order and welcomed the participation of the grantor (the executive) in the conflict.

Until next week there would be no developments regarding the possible application of a second penalty to Aguas Cordoba. The first, which is still under administrative discussion, due to bad odor and taste as drinking water brought last November.

Anyway, Saravia acknowledged that geosmin levels in the water are well below the end of 2010. "But I do not mean they are not above average," he said. The Ceprocor studied water samples.

at 9.30 yesterday inspected the plant Ersep Suquía. Saravia said he recommended that the camera always operates at maximum ozone, even when the algae in the raw water is not warranted. "As they always say that there are variations, then it is advisable to always run at peak." Cordoba said water would be done. Saravia

remarked

award the contract provides (Chapter 3.3.2) that the company must prove experience in eutrophic waters. "Not surprisingly this situation," he said. Source
