MEDRC conducted trilateral course on desalination - 30 October - 4 November, 2011

MEDRC in partnership with Jordan Water Authority (JWA), Israel Water Authority (IWA) and Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) organized and conducted a five day specialized course on Desalination in Tel Aviv. The course was developed and run by ADAN Technical & Economic Services Ltd. for management level professionals.

The course was tailored to the following subjects: planning, decision making and oversight of the initiation, development, tendering, contracting, construction and operation and maintenance (O&M) of seawater and brackish water desalination plants.

Emphasis was placed on the fundamentals of desalination processes and technologies, the key design, operation and maintenance parameters and requirements of full-scale plants based on these processes and technologies, their significance and implications to the plants' owners and managers, and the main potential issues, concerns and constraints involved in executing state or water utility sponsored desalination projects. Special attention was given to lessons learned.

The objective of the MEDRC Tri-lateral Capacity Building Program in desalination and water reuse is to run a multi-year training program to address capacity building needs in these technical fields.
