1 Vision to Reality the German Jordanian University A success story of German Jordanian collaboration Dr. Qasem Abdelal Department of Water and Environmental Engineering
2 Creating a leading university in the region in learning and teaching excellence, focused research and enterprise, multiculturalism and effective engagement with the community.
3 Founded in 2005 in accordance with a memorandum of understanding reached between the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Jordan, and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany (BMBF) Initially, the university project was funded for four years by the BMBF and the German academic exchange services (DAAD).
4 Up till now, the university has been operating from temporary buildings. This summer, we are moving to the permanent campus
5 Eight schools with 20 different programs Fields range from applied technical and medical sciences, to natural resources and computer engineering, architecture, Languages, manag ement and business administration.
6 Well it is an applied university, with a unique set programs designed to directly prepare students for the work force German courses, currently students are required to take five German courses during the first three years of their schooling A year in Germany!!! Students are required to spend a year in Germany, taking classes in one of 73 different German partner universities and doing an internship at the industry
7 Partnership with German universities, currently, GJU has a project office that is affiliated with the Magdeburg- Stendal University of Applied Sciences. One of its responsibilities is to arrange corporation between GJU and some 70 universities in Germany
8 Strong connections with the industry: This is manifested in many aspects, some of which are: 1- Specialized office in the university, named the office of industrial links. This aims at helping students secure internship, training, and possible employment both in Germany and Jordan. Its activities also span to connecting faculty with the industry
9 Strong connections with the industry: 2- Cooperation between some programs in the university and national initiatives. Example is the cooperation between WEEM and the Network for Jordanian industrial sustainability (NETWORK).
10 Strong connections with the industry: 3- Faculty members with strong post graduation industrial / consulting experience
11 Indirect support from Germany through debt swap agreement with the Jordanian Government. Project Funding through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with a separate budget for various student scholarships.
12 Number of Students Mechatronics Engineering Student Number growth Industrial Engineering Maintenance Engineering 700 Energy Engineering Water and Environmental Engineering 600 Pharmaceutical- Chemical Engineering Biomedical Engineering 500 Management Sciences Logistic Sciences 400 International Accounting Computer Sciences 300 Computer Engineering Communication Engineering Architecture and Interior Architecture Design and Visual Communications German as a Foreign Language Translation Year
13 Number of enrolled students The Vision Leader in the region in research and teaching in the fields of water and the environment Achieve high levels of industrial cooperation Water and Environmental Engineering Year
14 WEEM offers a five-year accredited academic program, which will lead to the degree of B.Sc. in Water and Environmental Engineering. The Department offers two programs with main focus on Water or on the Environment. The programs requirements consist of compulsory courses, technical electives, and technical and practical training in Germany- during which the student gets to gain valuable work experience.
15 Faculty research interests cover the two disciplines : water resources research topics such as sustainable water management and numerical modeling of ground and surface water, Environmental engineering topics such as bioreactors and solid waste management.

17 One of the ten poorest countries in water resources 80 per cent of the country receiving less than 100mm of precipitation annually Annual Water deficit ranges between 100 and 200 MCM Per capita share is estimated around 140 cubic meters Climate models are projecting increase in temperature and a reduction in precipitation Source: FAO.org
18 Conventional Water Resources Ground water: 12 basins are identified, some are at their maximum capacity. Others are overexploited. Surface water: Jordan River, Yarmouk River, Zarqa River. Much of the flow of the first two was diverted by Israel and Syria, leaving very little to Jordan. Zarqa is severely polluted by industry, municipal wastewater and non point sources.
19 Non conventional sources: Water Reuse Both direct and indirect forms of water reuse are present in Jordan Indirect reuse: Treated effluent of the largest WWTP is discharged to the Zarka river, which reaches King Talal reservoir, mixes with fresh water, then flows into the king Abdullah Canal which is used to irrigate 4,000 farms, mostly using drip irrigation Several locations have direct reuse implemented. Reuse water is being used for crop irrigation, this is not as widely used and accepted as the indirect reuse
20 Non conventional sources: Water desalination A major desalination project is to be undertaken, it will be a part of the Red Sea, Dead Sea canal project. Currently there is a desalination plant for brackish water in the Ma in Mujib system which supplies water to Amman
21 A major water conveyance project designed to pump water from the Disi aquifer to the capital Amman. Water in the Disi aquifer is non renewable. At an extraction rate of 100 million cubic meters/year it is expected to last 50 years. Source: Wikipedia.com
22 The project is a build operate transfer project in which the operator will transfer it s ownership to the Jordanian Government in 25 years. Source: GAMA Company
23 With the dead sea level declining in the order of a meter a year, this project comes for a purpose of stabilizing the Dead sea water level and generate electricity to support a major desalination plant Once established, it is expected to secure Jordan with 500 million cubic meters/ year Source: WWW

27 Million Cubic Meters Water demand and supply in Jordan, Historical and projections Water Demands Water Supply Year
28 Source Livestock Irrigation Industrial Municipal Total 1. Surface Water Treated Waste Water Ground Water Total
29 Conventional Water Resources Flow from the Yarmook River is directed to the King Abdullah Canal (KAC). Total Supplement is 141 MCM a year from surface and Groundwater to the KAC
30 It is expected that by 2022, the municipal and industrial needs will increase by 29% (276MCM). Agricultural needs will stagnate Water supply is to be satisfied through several measures: 1- More use of reclaimed water in agriculture and the industry ( 57% of the yearly extra needs) 2- Net increase of groundwater use from the Disi water conveyance project to be completed 2013 (21% of the yearly extra needs) 3- Desalination of sea water as part of the Red Sea Dead Sea canal expected to be completed 2022(Projected to provide 500 MCM / year)
