Assist.Prof. Laila Lateef Alwan participated in the Third Scientific Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development for two days 15-16/11/2017 at the University of Technology. The study included a study of (6) water purification projects in Baghdad, by concentrating the aluminum which used in the compounds for purification purposes. Among the results were different relationships associated with increased concentration of ph and high temperatures The emphasis has been on aluminum because it has health effects that affect the nervous system, which causes Alzheimer's or Paralysis  in case of exceeding the upper limits within the body.

Assist.prof. Laila Alwan received a certificate of appreciation for her efforts and outstanding contribution to the conference.

Dr. Hussain Al-Aybi Zamil published a research entitled "Groundwater Investigation in the Iraqi Marshlands" in Diyala Journal of Pure Sciences. The study included the study of the three marshes in the governorates of Maysan, Basrah and Dhi Qar in southern Iraq. This region is characterized by abundant groundwater in the four-day sediment, which is characterized by good thickness and hydraulic specifications suitable for containment of groundwater and its permeability through the permeable medium.
The results of the research: The depth of groundwater between less than (10) meters and less than (40) meters in the areas of the three marshes and the amount of water that can be discharged from wells water is high ranging between (400) and (900) m3 / day, concentrations of dissolved salts in groundwater are very high at 68430 parts per million parts. As they can’t be used for humanitarian, agricultural, animal and industrial purposes due to the length and movement of groundwater towards the drainage area and the lack of natural nutrition resulting from rainfall. In the interior of the earth to achieve the alleviation and reduction of the level of salts total dissolved.
