Message from the Head of the Department of Water Management and Environment

On behalf of the faculty, administrative staff, and all personnel in the Department of Water Management and Environment, I am pleased to welcome our students and visitors to the department’s webpage at Prince El Hassan bin Talal Faculty of Natural Resources and Environment, The Hashemite University. We hope you find this page informative and useful in learning about the department, its academic fields, and its activities.

Water management and environmental protection are scientific and societal responsibilities that require an understanding of the relationship between natural resources and human needs. With this in mind, we aspire to prepare students with the knowledge and skills to understand water and environmental issues, analyse them, and contribute to practical solutions, with particular attention to the challenges facing Jordan.

Our vision for education connects theoretical knowledge with practical application while developing critical thinking, research and analytical skills, and evidence-based decision-making. We also believe in linking scientific research to community needs and encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation to address water resource management, water quality, wastewater treatment and reuse, pollution reduction, and ecosystem protection.

Dear students, your university experience is an opportunity to build your knowledge and develop your personal and professional abilities. I encourage you to participate actively in learning, research, and scientific activities; draw on the expertise of your professors; and uphold academic integrity, responsibility, and teamwork. Your contribution to protecting water and the environment begins with the understanding, skills, and awareness you develop today.

Once again, welcome to the department’s webpage. I wish our students every success and our visitors an informative experience, and I look forward to constructive engagement that serves the department, the university, and the wider community.

Dr. Taleb Odeh
Head of the Department of Water Management and Environment
