Seminário de Perdas: leia a entrevista com Ronnie Mckenzie, um dos convidados internacionais do encontro

27/06/2016 Redação ABES

Por Ana Paula Rogers

De 5 a 7 de julho, a ABES reunirá em São Paulo alguns dos maiores especialistas do mundo em perdas de água no I Seminário Internacional de Controle de Perdas e Enfrentamento da Escassez Hídrica (saiba mais aqui).

Publicamos, a partir de hoje, entrevistas com os especialistas que palestrarão no seminário. Um dos convidados é Ronnie Mckenzie, engenheiro civil, Doutor pela Universidade de Strathclyde (Escócia), membro da IWA (International Water Association) e especialista em gestão de perdas de água, hidrologia, planejamento de recursos hídricos, operações e treinamento.

Falando ao Portal ABES Notícias, Mckenzie aborda a importância de realizar este encontro na América Latina. Leia a seguir:

ABES Notícias – O seminário acontecerá num momento interessante do Brasil, em que regiões como a Sudeste, onde encontra-se o estado de São Paulo, acabaram de superar uma fase de crise de escassez hídrica, que deixou muitas lições aos brasileiros sobre consciência de consumo de água e também lições de gestão. O tema das perdas de água passou a ser um dos mais abordados no país. Neste contexto, como o senhor vê a troca de informações entre especialistas internacionais e brasileiros no seminário?

Ronnie Mckenzie – O Brasil enfrenta muitos dos mesmos desafios que a maioria dos outros países em desenvolvimento, no que diz respeito ao abastecimento de água, e tem um dos maiores fornecedores de água do mundo (SABESP) responsável pelo abastecimento de água na região de São Paulo. Muitos dos gestores de recursos hídricos privados e governamentais no Brasil interagem com seus pares em nível internacional e partilham suas experiências por meio de várias conferências voltadas para perdas de água, apresentando regularmente estudos de caso do Brasil. O nível de especialização em perdas de água no Brasil é muito alto e os gestores de água e especialistas que trabalham no domínio da água são muito respeitados por seus pares em nível internacional. Visitei pessoalmente muitas das instalações de gestão de pressão e infraestrutura associada em São Paulo e fiquei muito impressionado com a qualidade e sofisticação das instalações. O Brasil enfrenta muitos desafios reais relativos ao fornecimento de água para sua crescente população e a redução das perdas de água será sempre um desafio fundamental devido ao envelhecimento da infraestrutura e uma ausência generalizada de financiamento para manutenção de rotina, que é um problema sério, não só nos países em desenvolvimento, mas em todos os demais países.

ABES Notícias – Que ações foram as mais importantes nos países ou nas grandes cidades que conseguiram significativas reduções nos seus índices de perdas? Que iniciativas técnicas ou gerenciais seriam mais adequadas ao cenário brasileiro?
Ronnie Mckenzie – Ao discutir as perdas de água, a maioria das pessoas imediatamente pensa que o conserto de vazamentos é a questão principal e, em alguns casos, a única questão. Em muitos casos, as fugas são um sintoma de outros problemas subjacentes, tais como envelhecimento dos tubos ou altas pressões de água. Assim como é muito importante encontrar e reparar todos os vazamentos o mais rapidamente quanto possível, muitas vezes é também necessário tentar reduzir a pressão da água e, em alguns casos, substituir partes da tubulação. A substituição da tubulação é frequentemente recomendada como uma das primeiras medidas para reduzir vazamentos, quando na verdade deveria ser o último recurso, uma vez que tende a ser uma das intervenções mais caras. Em muitas partes do mundo, reduzir a pressão da água é possível sem baixar o nível de serviço aos clientes e, em tais casos, pode ser altamente eficaz na redução de vazamentos e tem a vantagem adicional de prolongar a vida útil dos tubos. O Brasil é um dos países que reconheceu os benefícios do gerenciamento de pressão e é um dos líderes mundiais nesta área da redução de perdas de água. Redução de perdas de água não é um processo fácil ou rápido e em grandes cidades, como São Paulo, é necessária uma visão de longo prazo na qual as perdas de água são enfrentadas ao longo de 10 ou 20 anos durante o qual podem ser gradualmente reduzidas. Não há nenhuma solução rápida e é uma questão de começar do básico de forma certeira e daí desbravar esta questão tão difícil. Os gestores de recursos hídricos e especialistas em perdas de água em São Paulo têm sido ativos neste campo por muitos anos e têm feito um grande trabalho que temos visto sendo apresentado em conferências internacionais em todo o mundo.

ABES Notícias – Quais são suas expectativas em relação à sua participação neste seminário no Brasil?

Ronnie Mckenzie – Eu não espero me surpreender com o que eu vir no evento, já que sei que os gestores de recursos hídricos brasileiros são muito capazes e trabalham duro para reduzir as perdas de água, depois de uma das piores secas já registradas. Estou muito interessado em ouvir sobre quais medidas emergenciais foram introduzidas e quão bem sucedidas foram em reduzir a demanda de água. Como eu estou atualmente sediado na África do Sul, que está agora em seu quinto ano de seca e nossos principais reservatórios do sistema de armazenamento estão se aproximando de 50%. Também estamos procurando formas de reduzir a demanda de água e nossas perdas. Nossos sistemas e problemas são muito semelhantes aos do Brasil, como são os nossos níveis de consumo por residência e as perdas de água associadas. Muitas pequenas cidades na África do Sul introduziram recentemente o fornecimento intermitente como forma de reduzir o consumo de água, que eu acredito que pode não ser a abordagem mais adequada. Espero ganhar no evento um “insight” sobre as medidas de enfrentamento à escassez que foram introduzidas no Brasil para que possamos aprender com sua experiência recente. Espero que possa nos ajudar na África do Sul, uma vez que a seca começa a nos atingir com mais força.

  53. Yet another issue is that video games usually are serious anyway with the main focus on understanding rather than enjoyment. Although, there’s an entertainment part to keep children engaged, every game is generally designed to develop a specific skill set or curriculum, such as mathematics or research. Thanks for your posting.

  57. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  58. Howdy! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone 4! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the great work!

  59. I have seen loads of useful issues on your web-site about computer systems. However, I’ve got the thoughts and opinions that laptop computers are still not quite powerful enough to be a good selection if you usually do things that require many power, such as video enhancing. But for internet surfing, word processing, and quite a few other common computer work they are just fine, provided you can’t mind the small screen size. Thank you sharing your thinking.

  61. It?s really a great and helpful piece of information. I?m glad that you shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.

  62. Thanks for making me to get new suggestions about computers. I also have belief that one of the best ways to keep your laptop in perfect condition is by using a hard plastic-type case, and also shell, that will fit over the top of your computer. A majority of these protective gear tend to be model precise since they are manufactured to fit perfectly over the natural outer shell. You can buy all of them directly from the vendor, or via third party sources if they are for your notebook computer, however only a few laptop could have a cover on the market. Again, thanks for your tips.

  67. I have learned quite a few important things through your post. I’d also like to state that there may be a situation where you will have a loan and do not need a co-signer such as a National Student Aid Loan. But if you are getting financing through a classic finance company then you need to be prepared to have a co-signer ready to enable you to. The lenders are going to base that decision on the few elements but the most significant will be your credit score. There are some creditors that will additionally look at your work history and come to a decision based on this but in most cases it will depend on your rating.

  69. Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

  80. Great article. It is rather unfortunate that over the last 10 years, the travel industry has already been able to to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, along with the first ever real global economic collapse. Through it all the industry has really proven to be effective, resilient along with dynamic, locating new methods to deal with adversity. There are often fresh troubles and opportunities to which the industry must all over again adapt and respond.

  104. It’s my belief that mesothelioma will be the most fatal cancer. It’s got unusual features. The more I look at it the more I am certain it does not act like a true solid human cancer. In case mesothelioma can be a rogue viral infection, so there is the chance of developing a vaccine as well as offering vaccination to asbestos open people who are really at high risk associated with developing long term asbestos linked malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this important health issue.

  105. This is a good tip especially to those new to the blogosphere. Brief but very accurate information Thanks for sharing this one. A must read article!

  107. Thanks for the write-up. I have continually noticed that the majority of people are desperate to lose weight as they wish to look slim along with attractive. Even so, they do not constantly realize that there are many benefits for you to losing weight as well. Doctors say that over weight people have problems with a variety of disorders that can be perfectely attributed to the excess weight. Fortunately that people who definitely are overweight along with suffering from a variety of diseases can reduce the severity of the illnesses by means of losing weight. You’ll be able to see a steady but noticeable improvement in health when even a moderate amount of weight loss is accomplished.

  108. Hey there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading through your blog posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects? Thank you so much!

  112. Thanks for your post here. One thing I would really like to say is that most professional career fields consider the Bachelors Degree as the entry level requirement for an online college degree. Even though Associate College diplomas are a great way to start out, completing ones Bachelors starts up many entrances to various professions, there are numerous internet Bachelor Course Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online variations of their certifications but commonly for a greatly higher price than the institutions that specialize in online course plans.

  114. I’d personally also like to state that most people that find themselves with out health insurance are normally students, self-employed and people who are out of work. More than half with the uninsured are really under the age of Thirty-five. They do not feel they are wanting health insurance because they’re young and healthy. Their own income is generally spent on houses, food, in addition to entertainment. Many individuals that do go to work either entire or not professional are not given insurance by means of their jobs so they move without due to the rising cost of health insurance in the us. Thanks for the suggestions you write about through this site.

  115. Nice blog here! Also your site rather a lot up fast! What host are you using? Can I am getting your associate link on your host? I want my site loaded up as fast as yours lol

  117. Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
