Dr. Clive Lipchin, a CONSERVE collaborator based at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies in Israel, recently installed a pilot solar-operated sewage treatment unit in the Bedouin community of Umm Batin. Dr. Lipchin has extensive experience in transboundary water management and wastewater reuse and worked with community members to install the new technology. Umm Batin is a recognized Bedouin village near the city of Beersheba in the Negev desert.
