I-Ohio State Institute for Sustainability isimemezele ukusebenzisana okusha ne-Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) okuzosekela ucwaningo lokuphathwa kwamanzi, kuthuthukise ukufunda kwabafundi futhi kwenze amakhampasi asimeme kakhudlwana.
Inkampani, umphakeli wemikhiqizo yokukhipha amanzi ezimakethe zendawo yokuhlala, ezentengiselwano, ezolimo kanye nengqalasizinda, inikela ngezinhlelo ezimbili zesimanje zokulawula amanzi eziphepho endaweni ye-Innovation District e-West Campus kanye nesipho semali sokuwafaka, kanye nezimali zokusekela ucwaningo namathuba okufundisa. Esinye isipho sizokhuthaza ukuhlukahluka nokufakwa ngokusekela i-Engineering House yezinhlelo zokulawulwa kwamanzi ezikhukhula futhi kuzosiza ukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo wokufunda we-Engineering House futhi kuzosiza ukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo wokufunda weNyuvesi futhi kuzosiza ukuthuthukiswa kwenani leNyuvesi yokufunda. izipho zidlula u-$1 million.
"Lokhu kusebenzisana okusha ne-ADS kuzothuthukisa kakhulu indlela i-Ohio State elawula ngayo ukugeleza kwamanzi eziphepho ezivela entuthukweni entsha Yesifunda Se-Innovation," kusho uKate Bartter, umqondisi omkhulu we-Institute for Sustainability.
Ukulawulwa kwamanzi emvula kuyindaba ebalulekile yezomnotho nemvelo ukuze kwakhiwe kabusha futhi kuthuthukiswe kabusha.Ukugeleza kwamanzi esiphepho ezindaweni ezithuthukile athwala isamba esikhulu sokungcola akuyise emachibini, emifuleni nasezilwandle; ngokuvamile kuphakamisa izinga lokushisa lokwamukela imizimba yamanzi angaphezulu, okuthinta kabi impilo yasemanzini; futhi ivimba ukugcwala kwamanzi angaphansi komhlaba ngokumunca amanzi emvula enhlabathini.
Uhlelo lokuphatha lubamba ukugeleza kwamanzi ezikhukhula asuka ezakhiweni, emigwaqweni yomgwaqo nakwezinye izindawo ochungechungeni lwezindlu ezingaphansi ezibamba ukungcola bese zidedela amanzi kancane kancane emiseleni yedolobha.
"Uhlelo lwe-ADS luzothuthukisa izinsiza ze-ecosystem ekhempasini, okungenye yezinhloso zokusimama kwe-Ohio State," kusho u-Bartter.
Ukubambisana kudonsela ukunakekela ekulawuleni amanzi emvula ngesikhathi lapho ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kwandisa inkinga ngokwandisa kakhulu inani kanye nokuqina kwezenzakalo zesiphepho.Imithetho yedolobha kanye nesifundazwe idinga ukuthuthukiswa okusha kokulawula amanzi emvula akhiqizwa yiziphepho ukuze kugwenywe ukuchichima emithonjeni ehlangene kanye nezinye izinhlelo zamanzi ezikhukhula ezisakaza amagciwane futhi zinciphise imifudlana.
UMongameli we-ADS kanye ne-CEO uScott Barbour uthe izinselelo ezilethwa ukulawulwa kwamanzi ezikhukhula ziyisikhuthazo esinamandla se-ADS.
"Isizathu sethu ngamanzi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusemadolobheni noma emaphandleni," esho."Sijabule ukusiza i-Ohio State ilawule ukugeleza kwamanzi eziphepho esifundeni sayo esisha sokusungula ngalo mnikelo."
Le nkampani futhi ihlela ukusekela amathuba okucwaninga nokufundisa asebenzisa amakhulu ezinhlelo ezimbili zamanzi eziphepho njengelabhorethri ephilayo yokuphathwa kwamanzi asemadolobheni.Lokhu kuzozuzisa ubuhlakani be-Ohio State, njengoProfessor Ongumsizi eMnyangweni Wezokudla, Ezolimo kanye Nobunjiniyela Bebhayoloji (i-FABE) kanye Nobunjiniyela Bomphakathi, Ezemvelo kanye Ne-Geodetic, kanye noRyan Winston, oyilungu eliyinhloko le-Institute for Summertainability.
“Abantu abaningi basemadolobheni abacabangi ukuthi amanzi abo aphuma kuphi noma ayaphi ngoba ingqalasizinda eningi ifihlwe ngaphansi komhlaba,” kusho uWinston.” Ukufaka uhlelo lwe-ADS kusho ukuthi singakwazi ukwakha amathuba okuba abafundi bakwazi ukufunda ngokuphathwa kwamanzi ngendlela eqhubekayo ngaphandle kwekilasi.
UWinston ungumeluleki wophiko lwethimba labafundi be-FABE abazoklama isistimu yokuvuna amanzi emvula ezokhipha amanzi agcinwe ohlelweni lwe-ADS futhi iwasebenzisele ukuchelela endaweni. Umbiko wokugcina womfundi uzosiza ukunikeza inyuvesi ithuba lokugaywa kabusha kwamanzi emvula nokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi okuphuza. Akukhona nje ukuthi i-ADS ixhasa ithimba, iPhini Likamongameli Ophethe Lokuthuthukiswa Komkhiqizo uzophinde asebenze njengethimba eqenjini.
"Ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo yethu ocwaningweni nasekufundiseni ekhempasini e-Ohio State kungenye yezingxenye ezijabulisa kakhulu zokubambisana," kusho uBrian King, iphini likamongameli omkhulu wezokumaketha, ukuphathwa kwemikhiqizo nokusimama kwa-ADS. "Sijabule kakhulu ukusekela abafundi bobunjiniyela abavela emaqenjini angameleli kahle ngesipho sethu ku-Faculty of Engineering Learning Community."
"Cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zezinto ezisetshenziswa emikhiqizweni ye-ADS ziyakwazi ukuphinda zisetshenziswe," kunezela i-King.Ohio State University ihlinzeka ngokugaywa kabusha kokusakaza okukodwa ekhempasini futhi isanda kwandisa ukwamukelwa kwayo ku-Type 5 plastic (polypropylene) yeziqukathi zeyogathi nokunye okupakishwayo.Njengengxenye yesipho sayo, i-ADS izoba umxhasi omkhulu kunabo bonke womkhankaso wenyuvesi othi Ilungelo Lokubuyisela kabusha.
"Uma ukugaywa kabusha kwesikhungo kungcono kakhulu, kusetshenziswa izinto eziningi emikhiqizweni ye-ADS," kusho uKing.
Ukubambisana kwenziwe kwaba nokwenzeka ngokuzibophezela okuqinile kwabaphathi kanye namaqembu ahlelayo ase-Ohio ekwenzeni ikhampasi isimeme.Ochwepheshe Bamanzi Nemfucuza Abavela Ezikhungweni Zokusebenza Nokuthuthukiswa, ngosizo lobuchwepheshe oluvela eqenjini labo le-Design and Construction kanye ne-University Landscape Architects, bahole leli thuba.
Ku-Bartter, ubudlelwano obusha ne-ADS bugqamisa amandla amakhulu okuhlanganisa ucwaningo, ukufunda kwabafundi nokusebenza kwekhampasi.
Wathi: “Ukuhlanganisa izinto ezibalulekile ze-Ohio State njengalezi zilingana neziqu ezintathu zezemfundo.” Kubonisa ngempela ukuthi iNyuvesi ingaba neqhaza kanjani olwazini nasekusetshenzisweni kwezixazululo zethu zokusimama.
