Groundwater constitutes an important source of water
for agricultural, industrial, domestic and environmental supply. This is especially true
in the Middle East. With rapid economical development and population growth, demands for
more water with higher quality are continuously increasing. Over-exploitation of groundwater
has caused serious problems of aquifer depletion, quality deterioration and side effects on
the environment. Wastewater discharge, solid waste disposal, and application of pesticides
and fertilizers in agriculture continuously cause serious groundwater pollution. Management
of groundwater resources has become an important issue world-wide.
The use of computer modeling tools has become a standard practice in many groundwater
investigations. Groundwater resources evaluation, groundwater quality assessment,
contamination site assessment and remediation, environmental impact review, and other
groundwater related activities increasingly rely on computer models as a means of
understanding groundwater flow and the fate of contaminants in the subsurface.
This course introduces the conceptual principles and practical aspects of groundwater
modeling in an intuitive yet comprehensive manner. The course objective is to show up
the use of groundwater models by providing solid understanding of the principles, methods,
assumptions, and limitations of groundwater models, as well as hands-on experience with the
planning, preparation, execution, presentation, and review of a modeling project.
The course is directed to interested faculty member,
engineers, chemists, biochemists, biologists, technicians,
and others with limited knowledge of these important analytical
techniques. The course does not require expertise in advanced
mathematics, theoretical chemistry or physics.
The meeting was conducted at Arab Potash Company headquarter in Amman.
Different issues related to the research project "Mixing of Red Sea and Dead Sea
Waters were discussed. The meeting was attended by Eng. Michael Hogan (APC General Manager),
Eng. Meroslave Davyduke (APC Deputy General Manager for Technical Affairs),
Eng. Jamal Ameerah (APC), Dr. Khaled Nawaiseh (APC), Dr. Mufeed Batarseh (PFC_DSEER) and
Dr. Abdelaziz Khlaifat (PFC_DSEER)
