This project was submitted to Karianet competition (June 2017): Youth Initiatives in Rural Development in the Arab Region. There is a need for in-situ soil moisture conservation in arid regions due to insufficient rainfall for agriculture. For this purpose, a combination implement [integrated reservoir tillage system (RT)] comprised of a single-row chisel plow, single-row spike tooth harrow, modified seeder, and spiked roller was developed and compared to the popular tillage practices in...

Several solutions to the problems of energy saving have been proposed in Jordan over the last ten years. Many of those interested in this subject have been researching serious and radical solutions, but as everyone knows, the issue of "environmental alternatives" and how to preserve the environment and provide energy is a subject that is classified under the list of "welfare" and that there are more important issues to focus on, despite the presence of about 70 environment...

The high rate of population growth, urbanization and economic prosperity in the Middle East have accelerated consumption rates and increased the rate of waste production of all types. Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait are the top in the world in terms of per capita solid waste generation. The total volume of solid waste generation in the Middle East has exceeded 150 million tons annually. Reducing the volume and the mass of waste has become a critical issue due...

Composting is the process of naturally decomposing organic matter by microorganisms under controlled conditions. Compost plays an important role in agriculture as it provides essential nutrients for plant growth and improves soil composition and structure. This article shared from EcoMENA introduces composting rules of thumb.

In Jordan, CARDNE has founded a project establishing a new wastewater system to treat wastewater in rural communities using constructed wetlands (CW) in combination with UV devices.
