Join us for the closing event of a three-day workshop with Professor Matthias Zessner-Spitzenberg on groundwater treatment and reuse in al-Khalifa park. The event will feature a lecture about his areas of research and expertise, and a presentation and discussion on the outcomes of the workshop with Athar Lina Initiative.
As part of Athar Lina’s ongoing Groundwater Research Project since 2016 which aims at devising innovative integrated solutions for groundwater problems in historic settings, the workshop’s goal is to develop methodologies for sustainable practices for reuse of groundwater in irrigating a 3000 sqm plot that Athar Lina recently transformed into a community park.
The workshop and event were made possible with the support of the Austrian Embassy in Cairo, and with attendees from Asyut University. Greening of the park was funded by the Netherlands Embassy in Cairo. The toolkit on sustainable solutions for groundwater problems in Historic Cairo is funded by Prince Claus – Cultural Emergency Response Program.
