Princeton Energy Resources International (PERI), Rockville, MD, USA, Sep. 2008- May 2009. Jordan Industrial Waste Manifest Project Specialist. This is a USAID funded project, based at the Jordanian Ministry of Environment, that aimed at introducing a Manifest System for industrial waste, including hazardous waste and medical wastes, in Jordan. The project includes preparing a manual for that purpose, training materials, analytical enforcement tools, and a number of other documents (see below). During the project a number of training workshops nationwide were conducted for waste generators, transporters, and disposal facilities on using the system. In addition, a number of Pilot Projects on using the system were implemented.

Associates in rural Developments Inc. (ARD), Vermont, USA: A short term appointment as an industrial wastewater specialist, in addition to participation in all activities of the Water Resource Policy Support project, based in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Amman, Jordan, and funded by USAID, 02 April – 31 July 2001. Main duties included in this project were to identify and prepare a prefeasibility analysis of non-agricultural reuse options for reclaimed wastewater from AsSamra wastewater plant. These include cooling and process water in major industries in the Ammaz-Zarqa basin. Another main duty was to identify and control all the harmful discharges to Zarqa River that may be detrimental to the wastewater reuse in the basin. Other minor duties include the participation in preparing a plan for managing wastewater reuse in the Amman-Zarqa basin and the Jordan Valley. In addition the different scenarios for watewater management in Amman-Zarqa basin were analyzed in this project.
