As well as producing films, I am currently writing up
my PhD dissertation in Human Geography for the Amsterdam Institute for Global
Issues and Development Studies (AGIDS).
I am specialising on Sustainable Traditional
Groundwater Systems in Syria
(Middle East). These are antique tunnels of
more than 1500 years old. The tunnels are called ÒQanat RomaniÓ in Syria.
In some sites the local people still use the water from these tunnels for
drinking water, irrigation and domestic use. We surveyed these active qanats
in Syria
and throughout our fieldwork used digital video to record observations in the
field and interview traditional water users.
Most importantly the research work triggered at least
three renovations of the tunnels at different sites.
