The CEE department is sponsoring a study abroad course to examine water resources in an arid setting. Water is a scarce commodity. Jordan is ranked among the 10 most water-scarce nations in the world, and will serve as the backdrop for learning about water and wastewater treatment in a water-scarce region. The course is going to focus on the current and historic water resources in Jordan, drinking water treatment and distribution in Jordan including the use of cisterns and desalination, treatment of concentrated wastewater including efforts for safe reuse, and plans in Jordan for meeting future challenges. The course is designed for juniors, seniors, and graduate students in the CEE department. Others will also be considered.
