Siyazi ukuba utshintsho lwemozulu aluchaphazeli zonke iindawo zehlabathi ngokulinganayo. Ngesi sizathu, oososayensi bafunda iimpembelelo zale nto kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zehlabathi ukuphendula ngomonakalo kwaye bakwazi ukucwangcisa nokwenza amanyathelo okunciphisa.
Kule meko siya kwifowuni Umgaqo owomileyo weCentral America (CSC) apho izazinzulu ezivela kwiDyunivesithi yaseCosta Rica beziphanda ifuthe lotshintsho lwemozulu kule ndawo ukusuka kwindalo nakwindawo yentlalo. Zithini iziphumo?
Ipaseji eyomileyo
I-Dry Corridor igubungela wonke ummandla kunxweme lwePasifiki lommandla ukusuka eGuanacaste eCosta Rica ukuya emantla ntshona eGuatemala.
Iprojekthi yophando ikhokelwa ngu UGqirha Hugo Hidalgo León, Umphandi kunye nomlawuli weGeophysical Research Centre yeYunivesithi yaseCosta Rica (CIGEFI). Unobangela wophando unikezelwa kwimbalela yokuba i-CSC iyasokola kunye nezinye izoyikiso ze-hydroclimatic ngenxa yokwahluka kwemozulu ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu.
Kweminye imimandla ye-CSC kunokujongwa ukuba imbalela ikhula njani de ifike kwindawo ezomileyo. Kuba lo mmandla usesichengeni sokutshintsha kwemozulu, iimpembelelo ze-geophysical kunye nezentlalo noqoqosho zichaphazeleka ngakumbi ziziphumo zokufudumala kwehlabathi.
Kwingingqi ye-Dry Corridor zihlala malunga nezigidi ezili-10 zabantu. Aba bantu bafuna ukutya nendawo yokuhlala. Ke ngoko, kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukutya okunciphileyo ngenxa yembalela ephindaphindayo kunye nexesha elide. Imbalela ikhokelela kwiimeko zentlupheko egqithisileyo.
Abantu abahlala kule ndawo badla ngokwakha iintsapho ezincinci kwaye indlela yabo yokuphila yemihla ngemihla bayasongelwa zezi meko zemozulu ziqatha. Ngokusebenzisa uxanduva lokufuduka emaphandleni ukuya ezidolophini Kuyo yonke imida yelizwe kunye neyommandla, ukungazinzi kwezentlalo kunye nengxaki enokubakho yeembacu sele iqalile ukuvela ngenxa yongquzulwano lwentlalo kummandla nakwizibonelelo.
Inkqubo eCentral American Dry Corridor
Uphando olwenziwe zizazinzulu zeDyunivesithi yaseCosta Rica luphumelele ekwenziweni kweNkqubo ePheleleyo yeCentral American Dry Corridor (PICSC), eyayibanjelwe "intlanganiso yokuqala yokuququzelela kunye neUCREA-PICSC Central American workshop".
Iworkshop ibibanjelwe kwi mini- auditorium ye IZiko loPhando lweGeophysical (CIGEFI) ye-UCR. Bonke abathathi-nxaxheba kunye nabaphandi abavela kuMbindi Merika abasebenza kwesi sihloko baya. Injongo yokudibanisa abantu abafunda umxholo ofanayo kwezinye iindawo kukukwazi ukuthelekisa iimpembelelo ezahlukeneyo ezinokuthi zitshintshwe yimozulu ngokommandla kwaye ziqokelele ulwazi malunga nokuba zingamiswa njani.
Ngexesha lomsebenzi, bobabini uGqirha Hugo Hidalgo León, umphandi oyintloko weprojekthi, kunye nomphengululi uGqirha Yosef Gotlieb ovela kwiKholeji yezeMfundo kaDavid Yellin kwa-Israyeli, baveza ubungakanani beprojekthi yophando kunye ne-PICSC.
“Sineminyaka emihlanu sisenza uphando kuwo onke amazwe abandakanyekayo kwiCentral American Dry Corridor. Imali enikezwe yiYunivesithi yaseCosta Rica iyasivumela ukuba sidibane noogxa bethu abavela kuwo onke la mazwe. Iprojekthi yile ukungenelela, ukuhlangana, yintsebenziswano yamanye amazwe”. Ugqirha Gotlieb ucacisile.
Inkqubo ijolise ekuqokeleleni lonke ulwazi oluyimfuneko malunga nemeko yendalo esingqongileyo yendalo kunye nezixhobo zentlalo kunye nendlela abachaphazeleka ngayo kukutshintsha kwemozulu kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zoMbindi Merika, kuba utshintsho kwenye yazo lunokubangela utshintsho kwezinye. Zonke izixhobo kunye ne-ecosystems zidityanisiwe.
Inkqubo isebenza kumanqanaba amabini: kwelinye icala, Ukunyanga inqanaba lendalo, apho izibonelelo zilawulwa zize zilondolozwe, kwelinye icala, umntu, apho iingxaki zentlalo nezoqoqosho ezithathwe kutshintsho lwemozulu kunye nefuthe eliyenzayo kuxoxwa ngalo.
Inkqubo izakuqala ngokwandisa ukubekeka esweni kweenkqubo zomoya, zomhlaba namanzi ukubonelela ngenkqubo yokulumkisa kwangethuba. Ukongeza, ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi kunye nomhlaba kuyakwandiswa kusetyenziswa ubuchwepheshe obuvela kwiindawo ezomileyo ngakumbi. Ukonga amanzi, iintlobo zezityalo ezilungiswe ngcono kwiimeko ezitshintshayo ziya kusetyenziswa.
