Abstract

Basic sciences, technology and human sciences in aeronautics are integrated in favor of renewable energies for sustainable development.Thus, the objective of this project is to create a rainwater and condensed water storage system with automated irrigation, powered by solar energy that provides crop moisture and contributes to the reduction of CO2 in the semi-desert region of Querétaro. The methodology used is action research, which consists of observing and detecting a real problem to immediately analyze and assess the possibilities of intervention. In this case it was the waste of natural resources in the university (water and solar energy). An action strategy was designed afterwards which consisted in: 1. Integration of a team of specialist teachers and students. 2. General planning of the project. 3. Theoretical and field research. 4. Systems design: hydraulic, structures, automated irrigation with solar energy. 5.Application of device tests and the study of the process of crop growing and composting. Our contribution in this project is above all social and ecological and not to science; university social responsibility is encouraged emphasizing the importance that the application of technology offer alternatives for the care and use of natural resources and greater use of renewable energy. As an added value, the project contributes to applied research with an interdisciplinary approach of professors and students of different aeronautical careers in favor of sustainable development. It is clarified that during this initial stage there is still no scientific contribution made as we plan ,in a subsequent stage, to test and show levels of radiation and humidity in the region.
