Scientific Research and Development


TAEQ integrates traditional Arab techniques from construction and agriculture into new technologies in order to craft innovative answers to environmental challenges.


We want to provide low-cost, decentralized and easy-to-implement solutions. Most of our Research and Development activities are targeted at water provision for rural areas, which are often neglected, but face serious drought issues in the arid middle-east.


For implementation we work together with local officials as well as communities from Palestine, Jordan and Egypt.
