TunisiaNAWAMED: School camps and technical training for over 50 participants on sustainable water management
The American University of Beirut (AUB), in collaboration with IRIDRA, project partners, recently hosted a series of events and workshops aimed at promoting nature-based solutions (NBSs) for sustainable water management (SWM). Two notable events were the School Camps on Green Wall Applications for greywater reuse and the two-day Technical Training on Nature-Based Solutions for Non-Conventional Water (NCW) treatment.
The School Camps, held on 3-4 April, brought together a diverse group of over 20 professionals and more than 20 university students to explore innovative approaches to greywater treatment. With the support of experts from IRIDRA, including Eng. Nicolas Martinuzzi, Eng. Riccardo Bresciani and Arch. Barbara Bonadies, the participants were given lectures on NBSs for greywater treatment and the technology used at the NAWAMED pilot plant in Beirut, a student dormitory at AUB.
Furthermore, on 26 and 27 April, AUB and IRIDRA organised a comprehensive two-day technical training workshop focusing on NBSs for the treatment of NCW. Over 30 professionals attended the event.
These efforts underscore AUB and IRIDRA’s commitment to using NBSs to address water management challenges, and highlight the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in achieving sustainable and resilient communities.
