Time: 1100



Venue: W103



Topic: WASTE WATER    



Hazza began his presentation in a smooth and dynamic way, where he explained the meaning of water and its importance to living organisms. After that, he started to review the most important points that he would be talking about , and then he proceeded to talk about the most important sources of the water in the world and how to extract it; during that time Mr. Hedley asked him for water sources in the UAE.
Hazza's answer was that, desalinated water and then he continued talking about the multiple ways to store water, and also dealt with talking about wasting water, and he gave an example about Dubai Water Park. He also added a very important point which is water leaking in many places, particularly in housing, and he concluded about the proposed solutions to reduce the problem of wasting water.

Body language and eye contact were present dramatically, and the order of the slides was smooth and clear for all

The response by the audience was good as they dealt with the topic very well. Hazza was able to deliver information and idea's about the problem of waste water in the world and how serious it is.

We have benefited from valuable new information  such as:  

 1- The problem has become a major concern to the world.

2- Modern methods of water conservation.

3- Adoption by the United Arab Emirates of desalination.
The show was very interesting and I  enjoyed it all.

The chairman Mohammed Khamis opened the meeting at 11:30

1. Seat belt.

Mansoor said it is very important.

Mohammed Khamis feels uncomfortable when wearing it.

Fahed said I know that, but you have to familiarize yourself with it, because it can save your life or at least protect you from serious injuries, Mohammed was convinced of its importance and said of course. Mansour do you think that the media have a role in educating people about the importance of wearing seat belts. Fahed said certainly, and I suggested  the media to allocate advertisements by famous people such as ball players and singers because they are loved by people.

2. Car maintenance

Mohammed Khamis said: we must take the car for regular maintenance  and we must change the tires every year.

Mansoor said: it also involves daily inspection of the vehicle such as tires and turn signals, car lights and engine leaks.

3. Mobile phones

Hedley asked if it is possible for people not to use mobile phone when driving. Fahed said: there is no chance.

 Hedley said: how about using hand free instead of holding it along the way. Fahed and Mohammed agreed, but Mansoor did not agree and said better not to use when driving, because the driver loses the focus and it’s one of the main causes of accidents.









4. Excessive speed

Mohammad asked whether the radar can reduce traffic accidents. Fahed and Mansoor agreed and both of them said it is better to increase the number of them. Hedley said police can monitor car speed by the camera. Fahed points that  Adco company ,where he works, already fixed a device which can record all the details including the speed and they punish the violators.

5. Unsafe  weather condition

Mansoor said we must not drive during the bad weather such as the fog or dusty atmosphere. Mohammed Khamis agreed and he mentioned  the tragic incident that occurred five years ago in Ghantoot area  and  many people died due to heavy fog.

In conclusion we thought that:





1-      Seat belts can save your family's life.

2-      Let your eyes always focused on the road and forget about the mobile phone.

3-      Do not forget regular maintenance of the vehicle and donot skimp in changing the tire.

4-      Stop the car immediately in the case of weather change.

5-      Everyone must join hands in order for public safety.
