CONSERVE Collaborator Dr. Clive Lipchin of the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies in Israel recently visited the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Arizona to deliver a guest lecture. His talk, entitled “Water, Wastewater, and Energy Solutions for Off-grid Bedouin, Palestinian, and Jordanian Communities”, detailed the problems faced by the Bedouin people living in the Negev, including lack of access to basic services such water, sanitation and solid waste. The Arava Institute is piloting a program to develop an on-site, off-grid wastewater treatment and reuse system to treat and recycle grey water (kitchen and bathroom water) for irrigation and livestock watering in the Bedouin community. View Dr. Lipchin’s slides and a recording of his talk.
