Six Master's Students Awarded Research Grants from the International Institute for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE)

Six master's students from the College of Engineering have been awarded research grants from the International Institute for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE) through the SafeagroMENA project. This project aims to explore the possibility of reusing nutrient-rich treated wastewater to achieve food self-sufficiency in the Middle East and North Africa region while addressing health concerns related to emerging pollutants among small-scale farmers through the implementation of environmentally friendly agricultural tools. The master's theses of these students focus on pharmaceutical residue removal from wastewater using advanced removal techniques such as adsorption, photocatalysis, and electrocoagulation. These research efforts are jointly supervised by Prof. Hussam Al-Hamaydeh and Prof. Salah Al-Jbour, indicating collaborative efforts to address urgent environmental and agricultural challenges in the region.​
