The Effects of Pipe Material and Age on the Formation of Disinfection By Pr...Marwan Haddad
油
This document describes a study on the effects of pipe material and age on the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the Nablus water network in Palestine. Samples were taken from various locations in the network including sources, reservoirs, and the distribution system. The samples were analyzed for levels of trihalomethanes (THMs), a group of DBPs. The results showed that all but one sample had THM levels below the maximum contaminant levels set by the EPA and Palestinian standards, though one sample exceeded the EPA limit. The document provides background on water sources, treatment processes, the sampling plan and locations, analytical methods used to measure THMs, and a table of results.

This document discusses the role of universities and research institutions in controlling and managing pollutants in irrigation water through good governance. It states that while universities in developed countries play a leading role by providing data, analysis, and policy input, universities in developing countries often have little contribution and unclear roles. The document calls for (1) understanding current national governance practices, (2) learning from challenges, and (3) implementing a dynamic plan to engage universities in the sector. Good governance requires exploring innovative ideas, analyzing data, converging findings, and continuously improving policies. Priorities should include control measures, funding support, and integrating stakeholders like governments, farmers, and the private sector.

water management separate vs joint nov 2010 (2)Marwan Haddad
油
This document discusses water management options for Palestine and Israel, comparing separate vs. joint management approaches. It argues that a joint one water authority with one water supply system would be most sustainable and efficient, ensuring water access for all people equally. However, it acknowledges this would be very difficult due to lack of trust and other political/social factors. Ultimately, it advocates for a one-state solution with Palestinians and Israelis having equal rights and access to land and water resources, as separate Palestinian and Israeli states will not achieve a just or sustainable resolution.

This document summarizes a study on using limestone contactors to mitigate corrosion in small water supply systems that use acidic water. Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to evaluate limestone contactors. A mathematical model was developed relating limestone dissolution and the resulting water chemistry changes to contactor design parameters. The model was verified using laboratory column experiments. Field evaluations showed limestone contactors effectively reduced metals uptake from pipes. The document provides conclusions, recommendations, experimental methods and results on evaluating limestone contactors for treating corrosive water in small utilities.limestone contactors- steady state design relationships
limestone contactors- steady state design relationshipsMarwan Haddad
油
This paper presents a steady-state model for the design of limestone contactors. The model relates key design parameters like the depth of limestone required, influent and effluent water chemistry, limestone properties, and operating conditions. As acidic water passes through a packed bed of crushed limestone, calcium carbonate dissolves, increasing the pH, calcium concentration, and alkalinity of the water. The rate of limestone dissolution depends on the transport of calcium ions away from the limestone surface. When the pH at the surface drops below 9.5, the dissolution rate is controlled solely by ion transport away from the interface.

This document summarizes the author's experiences with Palestinian-Israeli water negotiations and peace efforts from 1993-1995. It discusses key agreements between the two sides related to water sharing, including challenges around data sharing, joint management structures, and the transfer of water authority. The author notes difficulties in the negotiations due to both sides having different problem identifications, definitions of peace, and views on historic facts and water rights. Overall, the author argues that a just, long-lasting peace agreement on national and shared water resources is needed to avoid further harm, and that such an agreement requires comprehensive preparation and a mutual commitment to cooperation and shared living between Palestinians and Israelis.An Islamic Perspective of Food Security Management
