Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia and Water Supply Engineering

Your master's Program in Environmental Science and Engineering at ____ University of Science and Technology is my first choice for graduate school because I want to remain in Saudi Arabia rather than returning to the West, especially since I have already spent six years in the USA advancing my education and gaining professional experience. I like the fact that your program at ____ University is all in English; I excel in this language and think and act internationally in English as a scientist and professional. I see English as indispensable in addition to Arabic as a vehicle of global communication. Your curriculum is the best fit with both my short- and long-term interests and goals; and ____ clearly has the leading program of its kind in the KSA.

I especially appreciate the thoroughly interdisciplinary character of your program. By earning the Master’s Degree in Environmental Science and Engineering at ____, I will be well prepared to serve for a few years as a Project Director/Manager/Officer and then hopefully go into business for myself in the area of water, finding, producing, storing, cleaning, etc., everything having to do with water on the one hand, and engineering on the other. I look forward to helping Saudi Arabia to stay at the forefront of developments in water resource technology and security.

Saudi Water Engineering

Saudi Arabia is one of the driest regions in the world, with no perennial rivers. The fact that our country depends solely on desalinated water leaves us highly vulnerable in the face of population growth, climate change (Global warming) and economic and industrial development. Thus, Saudi Arabia must take certain measure to safeguard and secure our water supply for the safety of public health as well as economic and even cultural development. Much of our success in the future will depend on the degree to which we are able to optimally use and save water, especially conventional water resources like ground or rainwater that is desperately needed for irrigation. I am also concerned with the fact that Saudi Arabia lacks a proper water distribution infrastructure in most urban areas, having to depend on trucks in some cities to deliver water.

Water in Jeddah is more than one hundred times as expensive as it is in Riyadh, which has a water distribution network. Even more worrying are the hidden costs of our failure in Jeddah to install an adequate water distribution system. In cities such as Jeddah that lack the kind of distribution system enjoyed in Riyadh, traffic is a fundamental problem, primarily because of the presence of so many trucks on the roads. Furthermore, trucks burn diesel and emit harmful gases which present increasing public health risks. Trucks also damage the roads, requiring large investments in infrastructure maintenance.

I could not feel happier about my central professional goal in life, doing everything possible to contribute to providing every human being on the planet with clean water – beginning in the KSA. If accepted to your distinguished program at ____, I will have the opportunity to learn from the expert's and to be guided in the creative evolution of my ideas, ideals, and aspirations to make my maximum contribution to Saudi Arabia and the world. After completing your program, I hope to become a Project Officer in water and urban development, working for a project sponsored by my current employer, the Islamic Development Bank of ____.

Water Engineering in Saudi Arabia

Most passionate about the human need for and even moral right to clean water as the foundation of human sustenance and dignity, I am a very hard-worker and nothing excites me more than helping my community to prosper and develop. I also want very much to become part of solving related global issues - particularly poverty and hunger. I am as well read as I am travelled with abundant knowledge not only in water supply but also sanitation, biopharma (Cancer Drugs) and graphene production. I have spent significant amounts of time in Turkey, Egypt, and the UK as well as America.

In my present position with the in Jeddah, working in the Infrastructure Department in the Division of Urban Development & Services, I develop a project plan using a SMART Sheet program to better manage water supplies and execute sanitation projects. Much of my day is spent preparing briefs and presentations for flagship projects and coordinating with other departments.

Thank you for your consideration of my application to ____.
