Conserve & Sustain the Oceans, Sea & Marine Resources
(Activities of 2022)
Aquatic Ecosystems Monitoring
With its own effort to provide safe drinking water for teachers, staff, and students, the College of Arts at the University of Basra has taken the initiative to equip a vertical refrigerator to store purified bottled drinking water, which is provided daily for free so that everyone can benefit from it. The College also intends to recycle the rest plastic cups and transformed them into fine art commensurate with the sophistication of the College and its students.
University of Basrah Group Operates Water Sampling Boats
It is well-konwn that the Basrah province is surrounded by many rivers , along with arabian gulf, such as Tigris, Euphrates, Basrah , Shat al arab, Karma, Zubair and so on. The University of Basrah has founded a group of professional inventors who manufactures remote-control-based boats for collecting samples of water to contribute for maintaining the abovementioned rivers. The ability of the boats to collect samples was tested at the Basrah province rivers and the boats show extensive efficiency in collecting the desired samples from different spots on the river. The samples were provided to specialized laboratories at the marine science center, which belongs to our university, for further experiments and analysis.
In the past, experts of the University of Basrah used to drive real boats, which our university owns, to go to faraway areas in order to collect samples. Now, it is possible to save effort and energy by using these boats that are controlled by electromagnetic remote control waves to collect those samples effectively and quickly.
