The importance of the project

This project addresses agro-ecological development. It deals with an area that is politically, environmentally and agriculturally sensitive.

This Wadi Semin project  is the first scientific research linking the environmental characteristics of groundwater, wastewater, soil, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), based on spatial data, to make environmental decision-making and the sustainable development of the region.

Our research deals with the reality of the area (the existence of wastewater), and the effects of environmental and scientific aspects of the farms in Wadi Al-Semin. The soil, characteristics of the  wastewater and  groundwater will be assessed to see how to benefit from the preparation of agricultural environmental management in the region.

 Due to the lack of  knowledge of the general population and farmers in particular about sound agricultural practices this has led to the abandonment of their land and the deterioration of agricultural land and trees. The valley soil is very fertile. It was cultivated before the arrival of wastewater, with  vegetables and fruit trees. Due to environmental pollution now there are no fruit trees and few vegetables in this region.
