Mayor Francisco Azcué, representing the Municipality of Concordia and the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN) Regional Concordia, signed a mutual collaboration agreement aimed at the survey and analysis of hydraulic basins within the urban area.
The agreement contemplates joint work between the Secretariat of Urban Development and the Research Group in Hydrology and Applied Hydraulics (GIHHA) of the UTN. The main objective is to collect technical data and apply hydrodynamic models that allow for the proper dimensioning of future hydraulic works in critical areas of the city.
“This agreement is very positive for the Municipality because it allows us to address a central issue such as urban hydraulics with the valuable scientific and technical contribution of the University. It will be of great use for the development of works and interventions,” highlighted the Secretary of Urban Development, Alejandro López.
For his part, the Undersecretary of Public Works, Mateo Sastre, explained that the agreement specifically aims to work with the Directorate of Engineering of the Undersecretary, collecting data, in the first place, on the Ayuí Chico stream basin, as an initial step for more precise planning.
The Vice Dean of the UTN Concordia, Marcos Blanc, highlighted the signing, thanking “the possibility of contributing our grain of sand. We have always worked side by side with the community, and we will continue to collaborate with all those administrations focused on the common well-being and the development of the city.”
For her part, the director of the GIHHA, Dr. Eng. María Eugenia Garat, pointed out that the joint work includes the use of hydrodynamic models provided by the University and the contribution of municipal resources for field tasks. “The municipality will provide personnel, topography equipment, and transport, while the UTN will deliver technical results to dimension works. It is not an economic agreement, but a technical and scientific exchange that seeks to improve urban planning.”
The articulation between the Municipality of Concordia and the UTN, through said agreement, will allow for the development of more precise diagnoses and the design of hydraulic works with technical and scientific support.
