My research focused on two components. The first component involved tracking natural organic matter at Andijk water treatment plant, which serves as a pre-treatment facility for desalination plant. This research included extensive laboratory tests such as LC-OCD, FEEM, DOC, SDI, MFI-UF, UV254 and TEP
The second component was a pilot project that studied the dynamics of reservoir water quality by covering the reservoir with large solar panels.
