SELECTED (out of 21) LEADERSHIP IN RESEARCH PROJECTS
 Sediment Deposition Behind Dams in Saudi Arabia: Principal Investigator of the project, funded by Kind
Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project accommodated seven
investigators, and used the part-time service of additional twenty one staff. The study investigated the
mechanism of sediment deposition behind dams in Saudi Arabia, with particular emphasis placed on Wadi
Jizan Dam. Technical solutions were reached to decrease the rate of sediment deposition behind the dams and
increase, accordingly, their useful life. The project included the study of design criteria of the dam, the
catchment hydrology, previous data collected and data collected by the team. Mathematical models on the
movement of sediment under unsteady flow conditions were developed, and recommendations for the Ministry
of Agriculture and Water in Saudi Arabia were made.
 Air Quality in Saudi Arabia: The aim of the project was to evaluate the air quality in Saudi Arabia, in general,
and in Riyadh, in particular, and suggest effective solutions. Nine investigators contributed to this project which
was funded by King Saud University together with Riyadh Municipality. Data on CO and Particular Suspended
Matters were measured at seven locations in Riyadh (indoors and outdoors). Mathematical models were
developed and a strategy was recommended to the Ministry of Health together with Riyadh Municipality in order
to reduce the level of pollution in the city.
 Construction Damages Due to Flash Floods in Saudi Arabia: This project was funded by the King Abdulaziz
City for Science and Technology, and received contribution of 12 investigators. The project main objective was
to investigate the reasons of construction damages by floods in Saudi Arabia. Hydrology of the region was
studies, and the characteristics of flash floods in the region were identified. Guidelines for construction of
bridges were recommended to the Ministry of Communication in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for implementation. The
project introduced the principles of flash flood generation in arid climates, and was the start to introduce
modifying hydrologic factors in existing hydrologic models to generate floods (e.g. infiltration and dry period
between two successive rainstorms in arid areas).
 Groundwater Contamination in the Northwest Aquifer of Saudi Arabia: The aim of the project was to
evaluate the groundwater contamination due to the spread of water residuals from oil production. The project,
which was funded by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology and received contributions from five
scientists of different social and academic background) collected data, developed mathematical and computer
models, and suggested a strategy to minimize the water contamination. The strategy was submitted to
ARAMCO and Ministry of Water Resources in Saudi Arabia for consideration.
 Contaminated Sediment Transport in the Danub River (funded by UNESCO: The economic consequences
of dying fish raised questions about contaminated sediment that partly block their gills. This project was
initiated to investigate the quality of the fine suspended sediment transported in the river. The investigations
included data collection, data analyses and modeling.
 Water Security in the Arab Mediterranean Countries: The project was conducted by seven investigators
(and partially funded by the Arabian League and universities) to evaluate the water sources in the Arab
Mediterranean Countries (including, Egypt, Jordan and Syria) and propose a strategy for water security.
Population growth, urban development and water demands were studied through a comprehensive data
collection program (from local and UN government agencies) and mathematical models developed the team for
this purpose. A strategic planning was developed. Aspects of water conservations together with realistic
considerations of rainwater harvesting, water desalination, and treated wastewater reuse were made.
Recommendations were made to the governments of the countries through the Arabian League.
 Dust storms Over the Gulf States Arab Countries: The project received contributions from five investigators
from Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. Climatology of the region was studied. A model for the dust
storms’ spatial and temporal distribution as well as their quality was developed. The model was verified using
real data collected from Dhahran (Saudi Arabia), Abu Dhabi (UAE), and North of Muscat (Oman). The model
was used to identify the environmental impacts of dusts on urban facilities and human health, and to forecast
the impact of the dust storms on telecommunications’ performance and on storm water sewers systems and
drainage facilities.
