Reactivation of Ancient Water Delivery System in Jordan
Calvin archeology and engineering students team up with Jordanian experts to restore an ancient water system and supply water to a community experiencing scarcity reservoir system. (Project Initiation: January 2017)
<h5>The challenge</h5>
<p>Waves of refugees straining an already water-starved environment</p>
<h5>What we do</h5>
<ol>
<li>Evaluate the system's surface water supply. This involves delineating the water basin, assessing the quality of the water, hydrologic modeling, and flooding mitigation.</li>
<li>Assess current conditions of the system through mapping and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling.</li>
<li>Evaluate the system's future operation — its adequacy to respond to the demand for water in surrounding communities. This involves designing options for the repurposed system, providing optimized capacity with minimized archeological compromise.</li>
</ol>
