December 2009 Aleppo, Syria The 4th German-Syrian Week of Environment took place in Syria. From Dec 05. – 11. 2009 the magacity of Aleppo hosted the event. As in the previous year, the presentations were held in cooperation with the University of Rostock and in collaboration with DAAD, inwent and GTZ. 450 participants of high interest attended the event. The competent audience got information on new and / or sustainable techniques in the fields of water / waste water, waste & energy supplies and ecological construction. The lectures were completed with technical excursions. Janisch & Schulz engineer Christian Schulz followed the very personal request and invitation of Inwent and contributed to the symposium with a presentation on "Constructed wetlands - Design-Construction-Operation". He presented the results and operating experiences of "his" constructed wetland Jleep camp in Kuwait, where this technology was adapted to arid areas effectively.  November 2009 DBU project : Training courses and sessions to establish decentralized waste water treatment in Bulgaria The Chamber of Engineers of the Federal State of Hessen belongs to the leaders of the above-mentioned project. A training session held in Sofia took place in November 2009.   From 09. to 13. November 60 wastewater experts from the Bulgarian water authorities as well as private consultants used the opportunity to get first hand knowledge in decentralized wastewater treatment principles and methods. Bulgarian and German experts designed an extensive program with lectures across the various technologies and legal frameworks. Janisch & Schulz supported the session with two lectures: Eng. Christian Schulz’ first presentation showed the state of the art in construction and use of wetlands and soil filter compositions. The second lecture showed various international examples and practical resp. feasible variations in the municipal sector. October 2009 Damascus, Syria Janisch & Schulz engineer Christian Schulz followed the request of GCEC (General Company for Engineering & Consulting), Damascus, and held a 4-day-training for skills on the implementation of sewage treatment plants in the Syrian surroundings. The aim was to impart the knowledge to determine the required measure size and basic construction information of a wetland on a concrete project in the south of the country, 60 miles from the Jordanian border. 27 syrian water experts attended the training course, nominated from the Ministry of Housing and Construction (MHC) and from engineering companies. The engineers are with the GCEC headquarter in Damascus and with its offices in Homs, Latakia and Aleppo. The training course closed with a inspecting visit at the plant site. Damascus, Syria - 3. Environmental Syria-German Week   The third environmental Syria-German week was held in Damascus from 30th November - 4th December 2008. The event was organised by the University of Damascus, University of Rostock and the University of applied science Ostwestfalen-Lippe. More than 400 participants attends the meeting. The specialist audience achieves firsthand information in Water/Wastewater, Waste & Energy economics and Energy efficient construction. The Janisch & Schulz Consultants was represented in Dipl.-Ing. Christian Schulz. In his lecture „Constructed wetlands - Design-Construction-Operation“ he shows examples especially for wastewater treatment and reuse in arid areas.  [exposé download] Trierischer Volksfreund, 26.06.2007 Helping Rwanda to fight environmental pollution The catholics of Trier / Treves (Germany) are accociated with a diocese in Rwanda for about 25 years now. The germans support the people of Bayumba with projects concerning education and protection of the environment. As the problems with soil erosion in Rwanda increases, actually measures on reforestation and self-sustaining drinking water supply become more and more important.
2005 Indian Delegation examines constructed wetland in Kinzenbach, Germany An ecclesiastical decision-making unit from the Cashmere region in India is travelling Europe to get information on technologies of wastewater reuse. They visited the constructed wetland of Janisch & Schulz Engineers in Kinzenbach, Germany. This plant is now working without any difficulties for 12 years. The experts were ardent concerning the effectiveness of this sustainable method but astonished by the fact that in Germany the treated and clear (former) wastewater, resp. now greywater, is not reused for irrigation. In this country with sufficient water availability grey water has to be conducted in a watercourse.
Rhein-Zeitung, 26.03.2005 Water experts from Cuba perambulate constructed wetland in Germany Looking out for sustainable but non-expensive environmental technologies, a group of Cuban water experts travelling Germany visited the constructed wetland cleaning the wastewater of the city of Dorweiler since 2002. The plant is working without power requirement, and labor costs are low. Two basins of 970 square feet each, filled with sands and gravel of certain grain sizes are filtering and cleaning the citie’s wastewater. The experts estimated the technology as safe and applicable in Central America. With solar distillation following the plants cleaning process wastewater could even be recycled to drinking water.
Hersfelder Zeitung, 05.11.03 System Janisch & Schulz for the Province Guangzhou A delegation of chinese reaserch fellows, scientific assistants and engineers examined the constructed wetland cleaning the wastewater of Odensachsen, Germany. They evaluated the system and technique of this plant by J&S and concluded that it has to be exported to China, as it is able to help solving their pollution problems. Comparable plants will soon clean the polluted wastewater of small cities and rural regions in Guangdong, Huijung Tang, China.
