Examples of the range of international projects undertaken by AGE are:
Vietnam - Water and Sanitation Programme for Small Towns in Vietnam Raw Water Study
The Finnish government funded WSPST aims to reduce poverty and improve infrastructure service levels in Category V small towns, population 4,000 – 50,000 primarily in the Red River Delta. The primary objective TA Component is to ensure that an adequate and sustainable supply of raw water for potable water production has been secured for the foreseeable needs of the Program towns. Evaluation of the sustainability of the groundwater resources in each town.
Maldives - Tsunami Recovery Program
An investigation was undertaken to assess the potential impact of a proposed wastewater collection and disposal system (septic tank replacement) on the groundwater regime of the islands of Villingili, Dhaandhoo and Gadhdoo, the largest of which is 54ha in area. The assessment included a water balance study and the relative importance of rainfall and land application of effluent in mitigating saltwater encroachment and the risks to drinking water quality of land disposal of effluent. The study was funded by the Americam Red Cross.
Qatar - Study for Environmental Remediation of Halul Island Catchment Areas
Disposal of bottom sludges from crude oil storage tanks and formation water in unlined earth dams constructed in two small catchments have caused groundwater and soil contamination with the potential to cause risk to human health and the environment. AGE prepared Health and Safety and QA Plans, designed a field investigation program to define extent of contamination, assessed remediation strategies and prepared technical specifications for tender documentation for remediation of the catchments.
Kuwait - Kuwait Environmental Claims, Cluster 1 - Groundwater
Kuwait’s resources and environment were heavily impacted by Iraq’s invasion and deliberate acts of environmental destruction in 1990. The objective and work undertaken as part of Cluster 1 was to establish a groundwater monitoring network, undertake groundwater monitoring and assessment, develop numerical flow and contaminant transport models and design a remediation system that will be utilised to alleviate the adverse impacts of oil lakes, contaminated desert soil and leakage from damaged oil wells on the States groundwater resources. The work was undertaken for the Public Authority for the Assessment of Compensation for Damages Resulting from Iraqi Aggression.
