The problem of drinking water scarcity exacerbates in some villages in Tartous governorate making water conservation a priority. The aim of this study is to identify the patterns and practices of household water consumption of a sample of water subscribers in Tartous governorate in order to determine the procedures through which to rationalize the consumption of drinking water. For this purpose, a survey of 150 household water subscribers was conducted. The answers were then subjected to a statistical analysis. The results indicated the presence of a high percentage of those who follow the procedures for rationalizing the consumption of water within the sample (95.3%), and a low percentage of those who have the techniques for reducing water consumption (4.7%). The majority of those surveyed (87.3%) objected to increasing the price of water as a measure to reducing water consumption. The study revealed that there is a good aqueous awareness in the governorate on which one can rely in rationalizing the consumption of drinking water through awareness campaigns.

Research summary
تتزايد الضغوط الاقتصادية والديموغرافية في محافظة طرطوس، مما يجعل ترشيد استهلاك المياه أمرًا ضروريًا. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم أنماط وممارسات استهلاك المياه المنزلية في المحافظة وتحديد الإجراءات الممكنة لترشيد استهلاك مياه الشرب. تم إجراء استبيان شمل 150 فردًا من مشتركي المياه المنزلية، وتضمنت الاستمارة 20 سؤالًا. أظهرت النتائج أن 95.3% من المبحوثين يتبعون إجراءات لترشيد استهلاك المياه، بينما 4.7% فقط يمتلكون تجهيزات تحد من استهلاك المياه. عارض 87.3% من المبحوثين زيادة سعر الماء كإجراء للحد من الاستهلاك. خلصت الدراسة إلى وجود وعي مائي جيد يمكن الاعتماد عليه لترشيد المياه من خلال حملات التوعية. توصي الدراسة بضرورة الحد من استخدام المياه المنزلية في مجالات أخرى خارج المنزل وتوفير مصادر بديلة لري المزروعات، بالإضافة إلى التركيز على ترشيد المياه في فصل الصيف وخفض الرسوم الجمركية على الأجهزة الموفرة للمياه.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تُعد هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة في فهم أنماط استهلاك المياه المنزلية في محافظة طرطوس، ولكن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، حجم العينة كان محدودًا (150 فردًا) مما قد يؤثر على تمثيل النتائج لكافة سكان المحافظة. ثانياً، الدراسة اعتمدت بشكل كبير على الاستبيانات، والتي قد تتأثر بإجابات غير دقيقة من المبحوثين. كان من الممكن تعزيز النتائج باستخدام طرق بحثية أخرى مثل المقابلات الشخصية أو المراقبة الميدانية. ثالثاً، لم تشمل الدراسة المشتركين بالفئة التجارية والصناعية، مما يحد من شمولية النتائج. أخيرًا، كان من الممكن تقديم توصيات أكثر تفصيلًا حول كيفية تنفيذ حملات التوعية بشكل فعال.

This paper examines the evolution of drinking water consumption in Tartous governorate during the period (2009 - 2014) and its relationship to the emerging demographic situation related to the presence of displaced people, in order to evaluate the drinking water investment efficiency and to identify actions that will develop this sector.
In this research, the natural pyrite ore found in Tartous Governorate was described by studying the two samples taken from Hosn Suleiman -Safita (A) and Al Qadmous (B) area, in addition to studying the optimum conditions for pyrite dissolution (pH - time - quantity) with aerobic conditions. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the sample (A) is mainly composed of pyrite mineral and does not contain impurities, while sample (B) is composed of pyrite mineral combined with a small amount of calcite mineral, and these results were confirmed by the result of (FTIR) infrared spectroscopy and Polarised light microscopy (PLM(. The iron percentage in the two samples (A,B) is ranged between (42.6 – 43 %) and the sulfur percentage is between (40 – 53.7 %). With regard to pyrite dissolution, the results showed that pyrite taken from Hosn Suleiman (A) begins to dissolve at pH values less than 4.5, and the contact time is about 6 hours. By Comparing the results of sample (A) with sample (B), we found that the dissolution of sample (A) was about three times less than the dissolution of sample (B), and this is due to the fact that sample (A) contains pure and well crystallized pyrite ore while sample (B) contains pyrite combind with calcite, which increases its solubility.
Solid waste management is a complex problem facing decision makers in Tartous, especially in the process of selecting appropriate of solid waste land fill sites, because of the nature of the province that rich in natural resources and high populati on density. There is a large number of large landfills that aren’t in convenient locations, and affect to neighboring regions environment, adversely affect to the social life in the surrounding communities. In this research we identified the criteria that will be on the basis of evaluation of the locations of these landfills to achieve environmental, social and economic conditions. GIS was used to produce maps for each classification criterion separately to evaluate the landfills according to each criterion, in order to extract information from weighted map to get the appropriate locations. The study concluded that landfills sites unrealized for the majority of the standards, and to get a map showing the optimum locations of 18 sites with combined areas doesn’t exceed 0,012% of the total study area.
Tartous governorate has many tourist attractions which led to the emergence of a range of tourist activities, ranging in size and diversity in the size of their presence according to varying demand and the form of dealing with the activity and in l ine with the interests of investors and their vision of tourism work and returns.
