Secondary
Cities Project, Egypt (1995 to 1999) 
Engineering services/construction
management project, which will provide water and wastewater
infrastructure development, in conjunction with a parallel institutional
development project, directly to seven cities in Egypt. Services
include feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments,
preliminary and final design, preparation of tender documents,
services during construction, commissioning and start-up services,
and operations training. Also specialist subconsultant services
for the parallel institutional development project which is
assisting the municipalities in developing self-sustaining organizations
to independently administer, operate, and maintain the existing
and new water and wastewater facilities without assistance from

Wadi
Mousa Water and Wastewater Project, Jordan (1995 to 1996)
Environmental
assessment, design, and construction of water and wastewater
facilities serving the modern town of Wadi Mousa and three neighboring
towns to address the water supply and sewage needs of the growing
population in this tourist area. Water supply strategy involves
optimization of production of existing wells and development
of new wells. Wastewater facilities include an advanced treatment
plant with denitrification capabilities to meet stringent effluent
standards intended to protect groundwater. All new facilities
are in keeping with the local character of the area and its
archaeological resources.

Wells
and Springs Project, Jordan (1997 to present)
USAID-funded
assessment, design, tendering, construction services and project
management work at springs which supply water to several communities

Zai
Water Treatment Plant Project, Jordan (1998 to present)
Emergency
commodity and maintenance services, construction procurement
services, and technical support for Zai laboratory personnel
to address recurring taste, odor and nematode problems in drinking
water. Project included procurement and delivery of activated
carbon, delivery and installation of laboratory equipment, training
of laboratory staff, refurbishment of water treatment plant
facility, and development of assessment report. Initial project
has now been extended to include implementation of several recommended
treatment plant upgrades including installation of a new chorine
dioxide disinfection system, construction of a new chemical
feed building, installation of hypalon baffles in raw water
reservoir, installation of a new air scour system, and others.

Municipal
Water Resources Project for the Palestinian Municipalities of
West Bank and Gaza (1996 to 1999)
Program
manager for USAID-funded $46-million program to provide municipal
services to Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza,
including implementation of urgently needed basic water services
(wells, water delivery systems) in Hebron-Bethlehem and Jenin,
as well as conduct of master plans and designs for longer term
improvements in other selected areas. Development of a region-wide
water resources master plan and installation of a three-dimensional
model to establish the sustainable yield of the Eastern Aquifer
Basin. Training of Palestinian staff in modeling and in GIS
mapping applications. The project has integrated technical,
economic and equity considerations in developing long and short
term plans for water resources development and water delivery
systems.

Rio
das Velhas Basin Agency, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (1996 to 1998)
Evaluation
of the basin's water resources, recommendations on the creation
of a basin water resources management agency, and the development
of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and water quality modeling
tools for use by the future agency. The project team created
a management model for the das Velhas River basin and developed
a short- and long-term plan to assist the new agency in managing
the area's water resources and in improving water quality. The
project team created a basin management plan and conducted comprehensive
water resources planning and analysis through the use of GIS,
and hydrologic and water quality modeling.

Danube
River Basin Pollution Control, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and
the Slovak Republic (1991 to 1994)
Established
an environmental database for the nations of the Danube River
basin under the DEMDESP. This data base is intended to facilitate
the establishment of policies that would reduce water pollution
in the Danube River and, in turn, support and rationalize investment
in environmental improvement by multilateral donors and lending
agencies. In a second study, CDM directed pre-feasibility work
in four Danube River Tributary Basins. CDM-led teams of environmental
and water resources engineers were joined by U.S. and local
municipal/ industrial engineers and financial specialists to
identify bankable projects in high-priority areas and provide
technical assistance in developing an investment program and
institutional framework that could promote expanded investment
in environmental improvement in these countries.
