About the Book


About the Author: Dr. Ali Al-Maktoumi: is an Associate professor of groundwater hydrology at the department of Soil, Water, and Agriculture Engineering, and the Director of Water research center, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman. His research focus on water resources management in an arid area, which includes groundwater modeling/hydrology, the efficiency of recharge dams, and hydro-pedology. Through a number of awarded grants, he established scientific collaboration with Utrecht University, Delft University of Technology, UNESCO-IHE, California Institute of Technology, Jet Prolusion Laboratory-NASA, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and University of Jordan. This international collaboration resulted in a number of excellent publications and professional scholarly activities.
Dr. Osman Abdalla is an associate professor of hydrogeology at the department of Earth sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman. His research bridges several areas of physical and chemical hydrogeology in arid areas and intends to develop a solid platform for hydrogeological and environmental research and training of an international standard with emphasis on groundwater recharge. Dr. Abdalla has established many international and regional collaborations, been awarded major grants and published several articles in reputable international journals.
