Berlin: Lambert Academic Publishing. 6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I must begin by thanking the University of Arizona, International Arid Lands Consortium (IALC) and the Badia Research and Development Center (BRDC) for material and office support from October 2003 to December 2005. My faculty at the University of Arizona School of Landscape Architecture were ever-encouraging and supportive, and ever-patient with the intricacies of having a grad student working overseas. My committee -- Mintai Kim, Oscar Blazquez, Majed al-Hasanat and very especially my chair, Margaret Livingston -- deserves my warmest gratitude for all I learned as student of landscape architecture. It is Margaret who brought me to University of Arizona, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have studied with her. So many others helped me during the initial research for my masters thesis that I am sure I will leave out someone important, and for this I beg forgiveness. The staff at Jordan Inspiration Tours in Wadi Musa accepted me as an intern for six months in 2005, and trained me with great kindness and good humor.

  • FLOOD ANALYSIS and MITIGATION for PETRA AREA in JORDAN By
    FLOOD ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION FOR PETRA AREA IN JORDAN By Radwan A. Al-Weshah1 and Fouad El-Khoury2 ABSTRACT: Petra is located in the southwest region of Jordan about 200 km south of Amman, between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra was carved in sandstone canyons by the Nabatean over 2,000 years ago. Today the city is a major tourist attraction, its monuments being considered the jewels of Jordan. Floods pose a serious threat to the tourist activities in Petra as well as to the monuments themselves. In this paper, a ¯ood analysis model developed and calibrated for the Petra catchment is described. Using the model, ¯ood ¯ows and volumes are estimated for storm events of various return periods. To alleviate the impact of ¯oods on tourism in Petra, several ¯ood mitigation measures are proposed. The impact of these measures on ¯ood peak¯ow and volume is evaluated. These include afforestation, terracing, construction of check and storage dams, and various combinations of these measures. The ¯ood simulation model predicts that the measures can reduce ¯ood peak- ¯ows and volumes by up to 70%. INTRODUCTION was an extreme event, probably with a 100-year return period. During this extreme event, the intense and sudden rainfall The Petra region is located in the southwest of Jordan, be- caused ¯ood water to ¯ow from all wadis into the main wadi tween the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. It lies in the upstream of the Siq.

  • DOCTORAL THESIS Interpretation and Presentation of Nabataeans Innovative Technologies: Case Study Petra/Jordan
    DOCTORAL THESIS Interpretation and Presentation of Nabataeans Innovative Technologies: Case Study Petra/Jordan Submitted to the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Urban Planning Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus, Germany, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Engineer (Dr. Ing), 2006-2011 by Yazan Safwan Al-Tell (Born 07-04-1977 in Amman, Jordan) Supervisors: Prof. Dr. h.c. Jörg J. Kühn Prof.Dr. Stephen G. Schmid Prof. Dr. Ing. Adolf Hoffmann I Abstract The Nabataeans were people of innovation and technology. Many clear evidences were left behind them that prove this fact. Unfortunately for a site like Petra, visited by crowds of visitors and tourists every day, many major elements need to be strengthened in terms of interpretation and presentation techniques in order to reflect the unique and genuine aspects of the place. The major elements that need to be changed include: un-authorized tour guides, insufficient interpretation site information in terms of quality and display. In spite of Jordan‘s numerous archaeological sites (especially Petra) within the international standards, legislations and conventions that discuss intensively interpretation and presentation guidelines for archaeological site in a country like Jordan, it is not easy to implement these standards in Petra at present for several reasons which include: presence of different stakeholders, lack of funding, local community. Moreover, many interpretation and development plans were previously made for Petra, which makes it harder to determine the starting point. Within the work I did, I proposed two ideas for developing interpretation technique in Petra. First was using the theme technique, which creates a story from the site or from innovations done by the inhabitants, and to be presented to visitors in a modern approach.

  • Religious Practices and Beliefs in Wadi Mousa Between the Late 19Th and Early 20Th Centuries∗
    Volume 3, No.3, 2009 Religious Practices and Beliefs in Wadi Mousa between the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries∗ Zeyad al-Salameen∗∗ and Hani Falahat∗∗∗ Abstractِ This paper investigates some social, cultural and religious aspects of the Wadi Mousa area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It focuses on the religious practices associated with the visits of sacred places either tombs or trees and tries to shed more light on their historical origins. The study is based on various sources which include the accounts of the European travellers who visited the area during this period, the interviews that have been made with old men and women, as well as the writings of amzah al-'Arabī who visited Wadi Mousa and Petra in 1924 and wrote his notes in his partially published book entitled; 'Jawlah Bayn al-Athaār'. Keywords: Wadi Mousa, Intangible cultural heritage, Religious practices and beliefs, Late Ottoman period. Introduction Wadi Mousa: short historical introduction Wadi Mousa is located approximately 230 km south of Amman and it forms the main entrance for the Nabataean capital, Petra. The area witnessed human occupation as early as the prehistoric periods (Fino, 1998: 103-111). It prospered during the Nabataean period as it was the capital of the realm and flourished during the Roman and Byzantine periods. Our understanding of the early Islamic Wadi Mousa is very limited. Archaeological fieldworks conducted in Wadi Mousa and its vicinity have provided ceramic materials as well as some inscriptions dated to this period (‘Amr and al-Momani, 2001: 265). Recent archaeological surveys conducted within the greater Petra area uncovered dozens of villages dated ∗ We wish to express our gratitude to Professor Hani Hayajneh for reading this article and for his valuable comments and suggestions.

Many of these sites have an Outstanding Universal Value, as recognized by the inscription of five of them in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Petra was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985, in light of its extraordinary rock- cut architecture and advanced water distribution and storage systems which are a testimony to the Nabataean civilization that populated the site during Hellenistic times. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Department of Antiquities (DoA), as signatories of the World Heritage Convention, ensure the protection and adequate management of Jordan’s World Heritage sites. In the case of a complex site like Petra, an integrated approach to heritage management and planning is required. The Integrated Management Plan perfectly addresses this need by proposing a sustainable and participatory approach to heritage preservation, while ensuring successful tourism and local community engagement. It is a great pleasure to present the finalized Integrated Management Plan for the World Heritage Site of Petra, which is the result of a thoroughly participatory process that engaged a diverse number of stakeholders over a total duration of four years.

    Anthropology and Ethnology Open Access Journal ISSN: 2639-2119 Water Management in Petra, Greece: An Overview of Nabataean Hydraulics Shqiarat M* Review Article Department of Archaeology, Al Hussein Bin Talal University, Jordan Volume 2 Issue 2 Received Date: October 17, 2019 *Corresponding author: Mansour Shqiarat, Department of Archaeology, Al Published Date: December 11, 2019 Hussein Bin Talal University, Maan, PO Box 99, Postal Code 71111, Jordan, Email: DOI: 10.23880/aeoaj-16000128 [email protected] Abstract The study of Nabataean hydraulics has long been focused on the collection and distribution of water across the landscape and within the city of Petra. Traditionally, the collection, distribution and uses of water have been viewed from a purely practical standpoint: it is thought of as a resource, to be regulated and conserved and devoted to functional purposes. In his description of the Petra environment, the ancient Greek geographer, Strabo, pointed out two factors significant to the establishment of Petra as an urban settlement despite its arid desert environment. This paper discuss issues related to the water management in Petra. The discussion starts by identification of Petra as a strategic location, followed by irrigation at Petra and storage of water. The Siq, which is the main entrance of Petra, played an important role in managing water during Nabataean period.

  • Wastewater Production, Treatment, and Use in Jordan to Second Regional Workshop ‘Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture’, 16-18 May 2012, New Delhi, India
    Ministry of Water & Irrigation Water Authority of Jordan Wastewater Production, Treatment, and Use in Jordan To Second Regional Workshop ‘Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture’, 16-18 May 2012, New Delhi, India By Engineer Ahmed Ali Ulimat Title: wastewater Production, Treatment, and Use in Jordan. Author: ULEIMAT, AHMED ALI, Advisor, Environment & Water Reuse, Water Authority of Jordan(WAJ), P.O BOX 2412 Code 11183, Amman – Jordan.( Fax 00962- 6-5680871), e.mail: ulimat_ [email protected]. Abstract: Jordan has very limited renewable water resources of only 145 cubic meter per capita per year which is basically at the survival level and is considered as one of the most water scarce countries in the world. This number is below the widely recognized "water poverty line" of 1000 cubic meter per capita per year,(Water Strategy 2008- 2022). As a result, existing water resources are being seriously over exploited. The growing population and the increase in the per capita consumption of water constitute a challenge for decision makers as the gap between the limited available and the demand of the different sectors is widening. Reclaimed water as a non-conventional water resource is one of the most important measures that have been considered to meet the increasing water demand of the growing population and industrialization. Over 64% of the Jordanian population is connected to sewerage system and raw wastewater is discharged to 26 wastewater treatment plants to be treated for minimum discharge standards and reuse requirements stated in the JS 893/2006. With the current emphasis on environmental health and water pollution issues, there is an increasing awareness of the need to dispose wastewater safely and beneficially.
