[+/-] Presentation
In this section of the web site we are going to introduce scientific articles, computer applications, manuals, melodies, landscapes, photos, news and any other item new and interesting to oasification.
From here we encourage you to let us know your ideas, experiences and messages sending an email to oasification@oasificacion.com.
It's our intention to include new material periodically. When we have it we will make it available for download.
Soon we will implement the possibility to report of our news automatically for the people who request for it.

MAUCO - Excel application Oasification News No. 1
Chilean forest engineers Mauricio Lemus Vera and Guillermo Navarro Vidal have developed an interesting Excel application, called MAUCO, to design infiltration trenches and deviation channels.
Gently, they wish to make available for free their excellent work in this web site, and we thank them for it.
The application, in Spanish, consists in a spreadsheet (Mauco.xls 229 KB) with its user manual (Manual de Mauco.pdf 822 KB).

- Book entitled "Tratamiento de datos espaciales en la hidrología" [Treatment of spatial data in hydrology] by Jorge del Río San José, edited by Bubok Publishing. 348 pages. Year 2010. ISBN: 978-84-9981-141-3 [€ 9.00 in digital format (PDF) / / € 44.25 in paper]. In the blog "El mundo de los mapas" (http://www.orbemapa.com/) you can find much more information on this extensive and interesting treatise.
- Wandel.pdf is a paper about man, desertification, climate change and oasification, published in the Spanish journal Foresta in July 2010.
- Pi-A!.pdf is a mathematical and philosophical work that extends and generalizes the Pi Theorem of Vaschy & Buckingham, and that states a new mathematical axiom (the axiom of reasoned conjectures, or axiom A!). It has been recently published in the Bulletin "Puig Adam" (Sociedad «Puig Adam» de Profesores de Matemáticas, n.º 86) [a Spanish Society of Mathematical Teachers]. Serves to extend and complement previous work published on our website (Pi de Buckingham.pdf).
- Spanish blog on Hydrology and Forest Restoration, Oasification and Desertification, Ecohydrology, Erosion and Soil Conservation, Restoration of Rivers, Instream Flows, Flood Risks and Traditional Hydraulic Systems. It's a highly recommended web-log promoted by Jorge Mongil Manso (http://ghidrologia.blogspot.com/).
- English blog on Oasification (http://oasification.org/) promoted by Waternomics. It's a brand-new web-log (December 1, 2010) with good aims and ideas. Their initiative to propose the term "oasification" as a new word to the Oxford English Dictionary seems very timely to us.
- United Nations Decade for Deserts and the Fight Against Desertification (2010 - 2020): This is an ambitious UN program of initiatives and activities that can be visited and viewed at http://unddd.unccd.int/.
