| Work Experience | Intensively involved in research (field projects) dealing with optimal marginal water use. It includes the efficient use of saline, runoff and waste water, and related economic and environmental aspects. Intensive efforts are made also in the direction of wastewater treatment, water quality and environment control. Membrane technology is used for water quality control. Extra work is conducted in the direction of management modeling. It includes implementation of operation research methods for optimization of water and environmental systems. |
