Prof. Lankford gave a lecture in the New Campus library and discussed using shared alternative waters in the Palestinian irrigation system as part of the shared alternative waters evaluation project. The project is based on an agreement between the UNESCO Chair in cooperation with the Water and Environmental Studies Institute and the University of Montpellier.

Dr. Joni Assi, UNESCO Chair Director introduced Prof. Lankford and talked about his education, research production and career. Prof. Lankford in turn talked about the shared alternative waters and displayed cases of different countries which depend on shared alternative waters. He also discussed water conservation mechanisms pointing out that individual water conservation always leads to a general conservation of water level in the country.

The lecture was also attended by a number of academic and administrative members as well as a group of students from different faculties.
