Red Sea-Dead Sea Conduit
|
|
A Jordanian senior official affirmed that his government supports the proposed Red Sea-Dead Sea Conduit and regards it as an essential step in battling the severe water shortage in Jordan. Saad Abu Hamour - secretary general of the Jordan Valley Authority and Jordanian head of the Israel Jordan Joint Water Committee - assured participants of the Ashdod Sustainability Conference that Jordan would support the proposed conduit from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The so-called Two Seas Canal is a joint Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian project intended to provide potable water to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It would also bring sea water to stabilize the Dead Sea water level. Abu Hamour's statements follow previous reports in the Jordanian press that Jordan was not committed to full implementation of the project. Jordanian officials have said recently that they are still examining the feasibility of the conduit, but Abu Hamour was unequivocal in declaring Jordanian support for the Two Seas Canal. Under the proposal, Jordan would supply water to Israel's south from its Aqaba desalination plant in return for water from the Sea of Galilee, which would be used by Jordan's main population centers. The project has been examined by the World Bank and would include water desalination for Jordanian use, with the brine being directed to the Dead Sea. Abu Hamour said the conduit would be part of a long-term solution to his country's water shortage as well as an important project for regional cooperation. The crisis in Jordan has led to water rationing, he said, with each neighborhood receiving water for only 48 consecutive hours every week. During that time, residents collect water for use during the rest of the week. The Jordanian government subsidizes water for home consumption and agriculture. Further information on EMWIS website

Advanced methods for investigating nutrient dynamics in soil and ecosystems
|
The main objective of this symposium is to re-examine knowledge gaps and R&D priorities,
to better cope with the needs to quantify nutrient dynamics and reaction mechanisms,
particularly those of nitrogen and phosphorus in crop/food production systems, with special
emphasis on interactions with organic loads/wastes and under possible global changes
(warming and/or rainfall/ water scarcities), and the urgent need to assure sustainable
crop/food production with minimal environmental threats. Special emphasis will be put on
advanced and novel tools and approaches (including those developed in other disciplines)
enabling real time/online investigation and quantification of processes and referring to
options to observe and model changes at various scales (from nano/micro up to field scale).
Tools and methods leading to improved and sustainable utilization of nutrients will be
presented and discussed as well.
