22
Focus will be on symbiosis between water and wastewater in search for sustainable solutions
locally, regionally and internationally.
On March 22, three members of the MEDRC Alumni have been invited to attend the official presentations and will deliver a lecture each. The members hail from Oman (SQU), Palestine (An-Najah National University) and Jordan (Jordan University of Science and Technology).
To highlight World Water Day 2017, MEDRC employee Hilmi al Kindi, well known for undertaking gruelling walking challenges, will complete a 4-day walk (extending from March 19-22) from Sifah Hotel wastewater treatment plant to MEDRC office.
He will complete the last leg of his journey on World Water Day itself, and will arrive to a rousing reception at MEDRC. This event is sponsored by Gloria Jeans and supported by Muriya. Rounding off the day’s events is an art competition that saw teams from two local schools designing a mural based on the World Water Day theme. Al Awael Private School was declared the winner.
The winning team will be invited on March 22 to paint their mural on the Centre’s Garden Terrace Wall.
